Description
gensprep reads filtered RFC 3454 files and compiles their information into a binary form. The resulting
file, <name>.icu, can then be read directly by ICU, or used by pkgdata(8) for incorporation into a larger
archive or library.
The files read by gensprep are described in the FILES section.
Environment
ICU_DATA Specifies the directory containing ICU data. Defaults to ${prefix}/share/icu/76.1/. 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.
Files
The following files are read by gensprep and are looked for in the source /misc for rfc3454_*.txt files
and in source /unidata for NormalizationCorrections.txt.
rfc3453_A_1.txt Contains the list of unassigned codepoints in Unicode version 3.2.0....
rfc3454_B_1.txt Contains the list of code points that are commonly mapped to nothing....
rfc3454_B_2.txt Contains the list of mappings for casefolding of code points when Normalization form
NFKC is specified....
rfc3454_C_X.txt Contains the list of code points that are prohibited for IDNA.
NormalizationCorrections.txt
Contains the list of code points whose normalization has changed since Unicode
Version 3.2.0.
