gensprep - compile StringPrep data from files filtered by filterRFC3454.pl gensprep [ "-h, -?, --help" ] [ "-v, --verbose" ] [ "-c, --copyright" ] [ "-s, --sourcedir" " source" ] [ "-d, --destdir" " destination" ] gensprep reads filtered RFC 3454 files and compiles their information into a binary form. The resulting file, <name>.icu , can then be read directly by ICU, or used by pkgdata (8) for incorporation into a larger archive or library.

The files read by gensprep are described in the FILES section.

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

"-v, --verbose" Display extra informative messages during execution.

"-c, --copyright" Include a copyright notice into the binary data.

"-s, --sourcedir" " source" Set the source directory to source . The default source directory is specified by the environment variable ICU_DATA .

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

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.

The following files are read by gensprep and are looked for in the source /misc for rfc3454_*.txt files and in source /unidata for NormalizationCorrections.txt.

20 rfc3453_A_1.txt Contains the list of unassigned codepoints in Unicode version 3.2.0.\|.\|..

rfc3454_B_1.txt Contains the list of code points that are commonly mapped to nothing.\|.\|..

rfc3454_B_2.txt Contains the list of mappings for casefolding of code points when Normalization form NFKC is specified.\|.\|..

rfc3454_C_X.txt Contains the list of code points that are prohibited for IDNA.

NormalizationCorrections.txt Contains the list of code points whose normalization has changed since Unicode Version 3.2.0.
