  33 .SH DESCRIPTION
  34 .B genctd
  35 reads the word list from
  36 .I dictionary-file
  37 and creates a compact trie dictionary file. Normally this data file has the
  38 .B .ctd
  39 extension.
  40 .PP
  41 Words begin at the beginning of a line and are terminated by the first whitespace.
  42 Lines that begin with whitespace are ignored.
  43 .SH OPTIONS
  44 .TP
  45 .BR "\-h\fP, \fB\-?\fP, \fB\-\-help"
  46 Print help about usage and exit.
  47 .TP
  48 .BR "\-V\fP, \fB\-\-version"
  49 Print the version of
  50 .B genctd
  51 and exit.
  52 .TP
  53 .BR "\-c\fP, \fB\-\-copyright"
  54 Embeds the standard ICU copyright into the
  55 .IR output-file .
  56 .TP
  57 .BR "\-v\fP, \fB\-\-verbose"
  58 Display extra informative messages during execution.
  59 .TP
  60 .BI "\-d\fP, \fB\-\-destdir" " destination"
  61 Set the destination directory of the
  62 .IR output-file
  63 to
  64 .IR destination .
  65 .TP
  66 .BI "\-i\fP, \fB\-\-icudatadir" " directory"
  67 Look for any necessary ICU data files in
  68 .IR directory .
  69 For example, the file
  70 .B pnames.icu
  71 must be located when ICU's data is not built as a shared library.
  72 The default ICU data directory is specified by the environment variable
  73 .BR ICU_DATA .
  74 Most configurations of ICU do not require this argument.
  75 .TP
  76 .BI " dictionary\-file"
  77 The source file to read.
  78 .TP
  79 .BI "\-o\fP, \fB\-\-out" " output\-file"
  80 The output data file to write.
  81 .SH CAVEATS
  82 When the
  83 .IR dictionary-file
  84 contains a byte order mark (BOM) at the beginning of the file, which is the Unicode character
  85 .B U+FEFF,
  86 then the
  87 .IR dictionary-file
  88 is interpreted as Unicode. Without the BOM,
  89 the file is interpreted in the current operating system default codepage.
  90 In order to eliminate any ambiguity of the encoding for how the
  91 .IR rule-file
  92 was written, it is recommended that you write this file in UTF-8
  93 with the BOM.
  94 .SH ENVIRONMENT
  95 .TP 10
  96 .B ICU_DATA
  97 Specifies the directory containing ICU data. Defaults to
  98 .BR @thepkgicudatadir@/@PACKAGE@/@VERSION@/ .
  99 Some tools in ICU depend on the presence of the trailing slash. It is thus
 100 important to make sure that it is present if
 101 .B ICU_DATA
 102 is set.
