ICU MANPAGE                                       11 March 2004                                      GENCCODE(8)

genccode reads each of the supplied filename and writes out a C file containing a  compilable  definition
       of  the  data  in  the  data file.  The C file name is made by taking the base name of the data filename,
       replacing dots by underscores, and adding a .c file extension.

       If the -a option is used, platform specific assembly code  is  generated  instead  of  C  code.   Most  C
       compilers will accept both C and assembly files.  Instead of writing a filename with a .c file extension,
       a filename with a .s will be written instead.

       If genccode is called with no filename it terminates gracefully.

-h, -?, --help
              Print help about usage and exit.

       -a, --assemblyname
              Output  assembly code instead of C code.  Use -h to see the list of available types of assembly to
              generate and to specify for this option.

       -d, --destdirdestination
              Set the destination directory to destination.  The default destination directory  is  the  current
              directory.

       -n, --namename
              Set  the  data name to name instead of the default. This name is also used as the base name of the
              output. The default name is made of the icudt prefix,  followed  by  a  two-digit  version  number
              corresponding  to  the  current  version  of  the  ICU release, and a single letter indicating the
              endianness of the data (the letter b indicated big endian data, and the letter l indicates  little
              endian ones).

       -f, --filenamename
              Normally,  an  ICU data file such as mydata.icu will be turned into mydata_icu.c and mydata_icu.o.
              However, if this parameter was set  to  "somedata",  the  output  files  will  be  somedata.o  and
              somedata.c, respectively.

       -e, --entrypointname
              Set  the  data  entry  point (used for linking against the data in a shared library form) to name.
              The default entry point name is made of the data (set by the -n, --name  option)  followed  by  an
              underscore and the type of the data (set by the -t, --type option).
