  39 .I unames.dat
  40 in its destination directory.
  41 Optionally, Unicode 1.0 names can be chosen over Unicode 2.0 names for
  42 those code points whose names were changed for Unicode 2.0.

  55 Set the destination directory to
  56 .IR destination .
  57 The default destination directory is specified by the environment variable
  58 .BR ICU_DATA ,
  59 or the location set when ICU was built if
  60 .B ICU_DATA
  61 is not set.
  62 .TP
  63 .BI "\-u\fP, \fB\-\-unicode" " version"
  64 Mark the character names as belong to the specified
  65 .I version
  66 of Unicode. The default version is 3.1.1.
  67 .TP
  68 .BI "\-1\fP, \fB\-\-unicode1-names"
  69 Store Unicode 1.0 names in addition of Unicode 2.0 names for

  72 .TP 10
  73 .B ICU_DATA
  74 Specifies the directory containing ICU data. Defaults to
  75 .BR @thepkgicudatadir@/@PACKAGE@/@VERSION@/ .
  76 Some tools in ICU depend on the presence of the trailing slash. It is thus
  77 important to make sure that it is present if
  78 .B ICU_DATA
  79 is set.
