icurepackage(8)

NAME

icurepackage - repackage a common data file from multiple sources

SYNOPSIS

icurepackage [ -h, -?, --help ] [ -v, --verbose ] [ -s, --sourcedir source ] [ -d, --destdir destination ] [ --all ] [ --extras | -e, --extradir extras ] [ -S, --statedir statedir ] [ -T, --tempdir tempdir ]

DESCRIPTION

icurepackage combines data from multiple sources to produce a single common data file. The sources for data are the common data file if it already exists, a set of individual files that were distributed with ICU, and a set of extra files supplied by the user.

The repackaging works as follows. The existing common file is first unpacked using decmn(8). Files are then added back to a new common file, starting with extra files, then files unpacked from the existing common data file, and ending with individual files that were distributed with ICU. (Note that it is not necessary for the individual ICU files to exist for icurepackage to work properly.)

Some special files are ignored when the new common file is built. For instance, the common data file itself is ignored, and, unless the --all option is used, the converter aliases file cnvalias.dat is also ignored.

OPTIONS

-h, -?, --help: Print help about usage and exit.

-v, --verbose: Display extra informative messages during execution. -s, --sourcedir source Set the source directory to source. The default source directory is /usr/lib/icu/2.0/files.

-d, --destdir destination: Set the destination directory to destination. The default destination directory is specified by the environment variable ICU_DATA.

--all: Include all data files except the common file itself, but not ignoring the special data files mentionned in the SYNOPSYS section.

--extras: Include extra files that are found in the destination directory.

-e, --extradir extras: Include extra files that are found in the extras directory.

ENVIRONMENT

ICU_DATA: Specifies the directory containing ICU data. Defaults to /usr/lib/icu/2.0/. Some tools in ICU depend on the presence of the trailing slash. It is thus important to make sure that it is present if ICU_DATA is set.

TMPDIR: The default value for the temporary directory specified by the -T,, --tempdir option.
