| 28 .SH DESCRIPTION |
| 29 .B makeconv |
| 30 converts the ICU converter table |
| 31 .I convertertable |
| 32 into a binary file. The binary file has the same base name as |
| 33 .I convertertable |
| 34 but has a |
| 35 .B .cnv |
| 36 extension (instead of the typical |
| 37 .B .ucm |
| 38 extension of the |
| 39 .I convertertable |
| 40 file). |
| 41 This binary file can then be read directly by ICU, or used by |
| 42 .BR pkgdata (1) |
| 43 for incorporation into a larger archive or library. |
| 44 .PP |
| 45 The |
| 46 .I convertertable |
| 47 must be in the ICU ucm (Unicode Codepage Mapping) format in order to |
| 48 be understood by |
| 49 .BR makeconv . |
| 50 The ICU ucm format is similar to the IBM NLTC upmap/tpmap/rpmap files. |
| 51 Comments in the |
| 52 .I convertable |
| 53 are handled as follows. If a comment (starting with a `#' sign) that |
| 54 is after some text does contain the fallback indicator `|' then only |
| 55 the text starting with the `#' sign, and ending before the `|' sign, |
| 56 is ignored. |
| 57 Otherwise, or if the comment is the first thing on the line, |
| 58 the comment runs up to the end of the line. This special |
| 59 handling of comments is to accomodate the practice of putting fallback |
| 60 information in comments in the strict IBM NLTC ucmap format. |
| 61 .PP |
| 62 Note that new converters will be automatically found by ICU after their |
| 63 installation in ICU's data directory. They do not need to |
| 64 be listed in the |
| 65 .BR convrtrs.txt (5) |
| 66 converters aliases file in order to be available to applications using ICU. |
| 67 They do need to be listed there if one wants to give them aliases, or |
| 68 tags, though. |
| 69 .SH OPTIONS |
| 70 .TP |
| 71 .BR "\-h\fP, \fB\-?\fP, \fB\-\-help" |
| 72 Print help about usage and exit. |
| 73 .TP |
| 74 .BR "\-c\fP, \fB\-\-copyright" |
| 75 Include a copyright notice in the binary data. |
| 76 .TP |
| 77 .BR "\-v\fP, \fB\-\-verbose" |
| 78 Display extra informative messages during execution. |
| 79 .TP |
| 80 .BI "\-d\fP, \fB\-\-destdir" " destination" |
| 81 Set the destination directory to |
| 82 .IR destination . |
| 83 The default destination directory is specified by the environment variable |
| 84 .BR ICU_DATA . |
| 85 .SH CAVEATS |
| 86 If an existing converter table is changed and recompiled using |
| 87 .BR makeconv , |
| 88 the resulting binary file must be packaged in the same way that it was |
| 89 packaged initially. For example, if converters were grouped together in |
| 90 an archive or a library with |
| 91 .BR pkgdata (1), |
| 92 then the archive or library must be rebuilt with the new binary file. |
| 93 A standalone binary converter file will not take precedence over a |
| 94 packaged one. |
| 95 .SH ENVIRONMENT |
| 96 .TP 10 |
| 97 .B ICU_DATA |
| 98 Specifies the directory containing ICU data. Defaults to |
| 99 .BR @thepkgicudatadir@/@PACKAGE@/@VERSION@/ . |
| 100 Some tools in ICU depend on the presence of the trailing slash. It is thus |
| 101 important to make sure that it is present if |
| 102 .B ICU_DATA |
| 103 is set. |
