| 34 .SH DESCRIPTION | |
| 35 .B genccode | |
| 36 reads each of the supplied | |
| 37 .I filename | |
| 38 and writes out a C file containing a compilable definition of the data in | |
| 39 the data file. | |
| 40 The C file name is made by taking the base name of the data | |
| 41 .IR filename , | |
| 42 replacing dots by underscores, and adding a | |
| 43 .I .c | |
| 44 file extension. | |
| 45 .PP | |
| 46 If the \fB-a\fP option is used, platform specific assembly | |
| 47 code is generated instead of C code. | |
| 48 Most C compilers will accept both C and assembly files. | |
| 49 Instead of writing a filename with a | |
| 50 .I .c | |
| 51 file extension, a filename with a | |
| 52 .I .s | |
| 53 will be written instead. | |
| 54 .PP | |
| 55 If | |
| 56 .B genccode | |
| 57 is called with no | |
| 58 .I filename | |
| 59 it terminates gracefully. | |
| 60 .SH OPTIONS | |
| 61 .TP | |
| 62 .BR "\-h\fP, \fB\-?\fP, \fB\-\-help" | |
| 63 Print help about usage and exit. | |
| 64 .TP | |
| 65 .BI "\-a\fP, \fB\-\-assembly" " name" | |
| 66 Output assembly code instead of C code. | |
| 67 Use \fB-h\fP to see the list of available types of assembly to generate and | |
| 68 to specify for this option. | |
| 69 .TP | |
| 70 .BI "\-d\fP, \fB\-\-destdir" " destination" | |
| 71 Set the destination directory to | |
| 72 .IR destination . | |
| 73 The default destination directory is the current directory. | |
| 74 .TP | |
| 75 .BI "\-n\fP, \fB\-\-name" " name" | |
| 76 Set the data name to | |
| 77 .I name | |
| 78 instead of the default. This name is also used as the base name of the | |
| 79 output. The default name is made of the | |
| 80 .I icudt | |
| 81 prefix, followed by a two-digit version number corresponding to | |
| 82 the current version of the ICU release, and a single letter indicating | |
| 83 the endianness of the data (the letter | |
| 84 .I b | |
| 85 indicated big endian data, and the letter | |
| 86 .I l | |
| 87 indicates little endian ones). | |
| 88 .TP | |
| 89 .BI "\-f\fP, \fB\-\-filename" " name" | |
| 90 Normally, an ICU data file such as mydata.icu will be turned into mydata_icu.c and mydata_icu.o. | |
| 91 However, if this parameter was set to "somedata", the output files will be somedata.o and | |
| 92 somedata.c, respectively. | |
| 93 .TP | |
| 94 .BI "\-e\fP, \fB\-\-entrypoint" " name" | |
| 95 Set the data entry point (used for linking against the data in a | |
| 96 shared library form) to | |
| 97 .IR name . | |
| 98 The default entry point name is made of the data (set by the | |
| 99 .BI "\-n\fP, \fB\-\-name" | |
| 100 option) followed by an underscore and the type of the data (set by the | |
| 101 .BI "\-t\fP, \fB\-\-type" | |
| 102 option). | |
