Words begin at the beginning of a line and are terminated by the first whitespace. Lines that begin with whitespace are ignored.
"-h, -?, --help" Print help about usage and exit.
"-V, --version" Print the version of gendict and exit.
"-c, --copyright" Embeds the standard ICU copyright into the output-file .
"-v, --verbose" Display extra informative messages during execution.
"-i, --icudatadir" " directory" Look for any necessary ICU data files in directory . For example, the file pnames.icu must be located when ICU's data is not built as a shared library. The default ICU data directory is specified by the environment variable ICU_DATA . Most configurations of ICU do not require this argument.
"--uchars" Set the output trie type to UChar. Mutually exclusive with --bytes.
"--bytes" Set the output trie type to Bytes. Mutually exclusive with --uchars.
"--transform" Set the transform type. Should only be specified with --bytes. Currently supported transforms are: offset-<hex-number>, which specifies an offset to subtract from all input characters. It should be noted that the offset transform also maps U+200D to 0xFF and U+200C to 0xFE, in order to offer compatibility to languages that require these characters. A transform must be specified for a bytes trie, and when applied to the non-value characters in the input-file must produce output between 0x00 and 0xFF.
" input-file" The source file to read.
" output-file" The file to write the output dictionary to.
10 ICU_DATA Specifies the directory containing ICU data. Defaults to @thepkgicudatadir@/@PACKAGE@/@VERSION@/ . 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.
