49 takes a set of files and packages them as an ICU memory-mappable data
50 file. The resulting data file can then be used directly by ICU.
53 reads a list of files to be packaged from either the
56 file, or from its standard output. It packages all the files from
57 the list that are not bigger than
61 is 0, which indicates that there is no size limit on files.
64 .BR "\-h\fP, \fB\-?\fP, \fB\-\-help"
65 Print help about usage and exit.
67 .BR "\-v\fP, \fB\-\-verbose"
68 Display extra informative messages during execution.
70 .BR \-c\fP, \fB\-\-copyright
71 Include the ICU copyright notice in the resulting data.
73 .BI "\-C\fP, \fB\-\-comment" " comment"
76 in the resulting data instead of the ICU copyright notice.
78 .BI "\-d\fP, \fB\-\-destdir" " destination"
79 Set the destination directory to
81 The default destination directory is specified by the environment variable
84 .BI "\-n\fP, \fB\-\-name" " name"
87 instead of the default. This name is also used as the base name of the
88 output. The default name is made of the
90 prefix, followed by a two-digit version number corresponding to
91 the current version of the ICU release, and a single letter indicating
92 the endianness of the data (the letter
94 indicated big endian data, and the letter
96 indicates little endian ones).
98 .BI "\-t\fP, \fB\-\-type" " type"
101 as the type of the data. This type is also used as the extension of
102 the generated data file. The default type ie
105 .BI "\-S\fP, \fB\-\-source"
106 Write a C source file with the table of contents of the data.
108 .BI "\-e\fP, \fB\-\-entrypoint" " name"
109 Set the data entry point (used for linking against the data in a
110 shared library form) to
112 The default entry point name is made of the data (set by the
113 .BI "\-n\fP, \fB\-\-name"
114 option) followed by an underscore and the type of the data (set by the
