28 .SH DESCRIPTION
29 .B gensprep
30 reads filtered RFC 3454 files and compiles their
31 information into a binary form.
32 The resulting file,
33 .BR <name>.icu ,
34 can then be read directly by ICU, or used by
35 .BR pkgdata (8)
36 for incorporation into a larger archive or library.
37 .LP
38 The files read by
39 .B gensprep
40 are described in the
41 .B FILES
42 section.
43 .SH OPTIONS
44 .TP
45 .BR "\-h\fP, \fB\-?\fP, \fB\-\-help"

49 Display extra informative messages during execution.
50 .TP
51 .BI "\-c\fP, \fB\-\-copyright"
52 Include a copyright notice into the binary data.
53 .TP
54 .BI "\-s\fP, \fB\-\-sourcedir" " source"
55 Set the source directory to
56 .IR source .
57 The default source directory is specified by the environment variable
58 .BR ICU_DATA .
59 .TP
60 .BI "\-d\fP, \fB\-\-destdir" " destination"
61 Set the destination directory to
62 .IR destination .
63 The default destination directory is specified by the environment variable

65 .SH ENVIRONMENT
66 .TP 10
67 .B ICU_DATA
68 Specifies the directory containing ICU data. Defaults to
69 .BR @thepkgicudatadir@/@PACKAGE@/@VERSION@/ .
70 Some tools in ICU depend on the presence of the trailing slash. It is thus
71 important to make sure that it is present if
72 .B ICU_DATA
73 is set.
