genrb - compile a resource bundle

       Copyright (C) 2000-2002 IBM, Inc. and others.

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.

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.

       The  invariantcharacterset 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.

-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, --encodingencoding
              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 INVARIANTCHARACTERS).  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, --sourcedirsource
              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, --destdirdestination
              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, --icudatadirdirectory
              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.
