DESCRIPTION
genrb
converts the resource
bundle
source files passed on the command line to their binary form or to
a Java source file for use with ICU4J.
The resulting binary files have a
.res
extension while resource bundle source files typically have a
.txt
extension. Java source files have a
java
extension and follow the ICU4J naming conventions.
It is customary to name the resource bundles by their locale name,
i.e. to use a local identifier for the
bundle
filename, e.g.
ja_JP.txt
for Japanese (Japan) data, or
root.txt
for the root bundle.
In any case,
genrb
will produce a file whose base name is the name of the locale found
in the resource file, not the base name of the resource file itself.
The binary files can be read directly by ICU, or used by
pkgdata(1)
for incorporation into a larger archive or library.
OPTIONS
- -h, -?, --help
-
Print help about usage and exit.
- -V, --version
-
Print the version of
genrb
and exit.
- -v, --verbose
-
Display extra informative messages during execution.
- -e, --encoding encoding
-
Set the encoding used to read input files to
encoding.
The default encoding is the invariant (subset of ASCII or EBCDIC)
codepage for the system (see section
INVARIANT CHARACTERS).
The encodings UTF-8, UTF-16BE, and UTF-16LE are automatically detected
if a byte order mark (BOM) is present.
- -j, --write-java [ encoding ]
-
Generate a Java source code for use with ICU4J. An optional
encoding
for the Java file can be given.
- -s, --sourcedir source
-
Set the source directory to
source.
The default source directory is specified by the environment variable
ICU_DATA,
or the location set when ICU was built if
ICU_DATA
is not set.
- -d, --destdir destination
-
Set the destination directory to
destination.
The default destination directory is specified by the environment variable
ICU_DATA
or is the location set when ICU was built if
ICU_DATA
is not set.
- -i, --icudatadir directory
-
Look for any necessary ICU data files in
directory.
For example, when processing collation overrides, the file
ucadata.dat
must be located.
The default ICU data directory is specified by the environment variable
ICU_DATA.
INVARIANT CHARACTERS
The
invariant character set
consists of the following set of characters, expressed as a standard POSIX
regular expression:
[a-z]|[A-Z]|[0-9]|_| |+|-|*|/.
This is the set which is guaranteed to be available regardless of code page.
ENVIRONMENT
- ICU_DATA
-
Specifies the directory containing ICU data. Defaults to
/usr/share/icu/58.2/.
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.
