34 .SH DESCRIPTION
35 .B gencnval
36 converts the ICU aliases file
37 .I converterfile
38 into the binary file
39 .BR cnvalias.icu .
40 This binary file can then be read directly by ICU, or used by
41 .BR pkgdata (1)
42 for incorporation into a larger archive or library.
43 .PP
44 If
45 .I converterfile
46 is not provided, the default ICU
47 .B convrtrs.txt
48 file is used.
