GENBRK(1) ICU 72.1 Manual GENBRK(1)
NAME
genbrk - Compiles ICU break iteration rules source files into binary
data files
SYNOPSIS
genbrk [
-h,
-?,
--help ] [
-V,
--version ] [
-c,
--copyright ] [
-v,
--verbose ] [
-d,
--destdir destination ] [
-i,
--icudatadir directory ]
-r,
--rules rule-file -o,
--out output-fileDESCRIPTION
genbrk reads the break (boundary) rule source code from
rule-file and
creates a break iteration data file. Normally this data file has the
.brk extension.
The details of the rule syntax can be found in ICU's User Guide.
OPTIONS
-h,
-?,
--help Print help about usage and exit.
-V,
--version Print the version of
genbrk and exit.
-c,
--copyright Embeds the standard ICU copyright into the
output-file.
-v,
--verbose Display extra informative messages during execution.
-d,
--destdir destination Set the destination directory of the
output-file to
destination.
-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.
-r,
--rules rule-file The source file to read.
-o,
--out output-file The output data file to write.
CAVEATS
When the
rule-file contains a byte order mark (BOM) at the beginning
of the file, which is the Unicode character
U+FEFF, then the
rule-file is interpreted as Unicode. Without the BOM, the file is
interpreted in the current operating system default codepage. In
order to eliminate any ambiguity of the encoding for how the
rule-file was written, it is recommended that you write this file in
UTF-8 with the BOM.
ENVIRONMENT
ICU_DATA Specifies the directory containing ICU data. Defaults to
${prefix}/share/icu/72.1/. 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.
