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).
