  28 .SH DESCRIPTION
  29 .B decmn
  30 reads the ICU memory-mappable data file
  31 .I archive
  32 and writes each of the
  33 packaged files that it contains as a separate file in the destination
  34 directory.
  35 .PP
  36 .B decmn
  37 also writes a list of these files on its standard output. This list of
  38 files can later be used, along with the individual files that have
  39 been generated, to produce a new common data file using
  40 .BR gencmn (8).
  41 .\" Note that the output of
  42 .\" .B decmn
  43 .\" is not in the format expected by
  44 .\" .BR gencmn (8).
  45 .\" One can obtain a suitable file by filtering the output through
  46 .\" .B "sed -e '1,2d' -e 's/[^=]*=//' -e '/^endfiles$/d"
  47 .\" which transforms it into a simple list of filenames.
