GENCCODE(8) ICU 72.1 Manual GENCCODE(8)
NAME
genccode - generate C or platform specific assembly code from an ICU
data file.
SYNOPSIS
genccode [
-h,
-?,
--help ] [
-a,
--assembly name ] [
-d,
--destdir destination ] [
-n,
--name name ] [
-e,
--entrypoint name ] [
-f,
--filename name ] [
filename ... ]
DESCRIPTION
genccode reads each of the supplied
filename and writes out a C file
containing a compilable definition of the data in the data file. The
C file name is made by taking the base name of the data
filename,
replacing dots by underscores, and adding a
.c file extension.
If the
-a option is used, platform specific assembly code is
generated instead of C code. Most C compilers will accept both C and
assembly files. Instead of writing a filename with a
.c file
extension, a filename with a
.s will be written instead.
If
genccode is called with no
filename it terminates gracefully.
OPTIONS
-h,
-?,
--help Print help about usage and exit.
-a,
--assembly name Output assembly code instead of C code. Use
-h to see the
list of available types of assembly to generate and to specify
for this option.
-d,
--destdir destination Set the destination directory to
destination. The default
destination directory is the current directory.
-n,
--name name Set the data name to
name instead of the default. This name is
also used as the base name of the output. The default name is
made of the
icudt prefix, followed by a two-digit version
number corresponding to the current version of the ICU
release, and a single letter indicating the endianness of the
data (the letter
b indicated big endian data, and the letter
l indicates little endian ones).
-f,
--filename name Normally, an ICU data file such as mydata.icu will be turned
into mydata_icu.c and mydata_icu.o. However, if this
parameter was set to "somedata", the output files will be
somedata.o and somedata.c, respectively.
-e,
--entrypoint name Set the data entry point (used for linking against the data in
a shared library form) to
name. The default entry point name
is made of the data (set by the
-n,
--name option) followed by
an underscore and the type of the data (set by the
-t,
--type option).
