explodes an ICU memory-mappable data file

## NAME

**decmn** - explodes an ICU memory-mappable data file

## SYNOPSIS

**decmn** \[ **-h, -?, --help** \] \[ **-n** \] \[ **-C, --comment** \] \[ **-d, --destdir** *destination* \] *archive*

## DESCRIPTION

**decmn** reads the ICU memory-mappable data file *archive* and writes each of the packaged files that it contains as a separate file in the destination directory.

**decmn** also writes a list of these files on its standard output. This list of files can later be used, along with the individual files that have been generated, to produce a new common data file using [**gencmn**(8)](/gencmn/8.md).

## OPTIONS

- **-h, -?, --help**

  Print help about usage and exit.

- **-n**

  Do not create the output files.

- **-C, --comment**

  Print the comment embedded in the archive file and exit.

- **-d, --destdir** *destination*

  Set the destination directory to *destination*. The default destination directory is the current directory.
