GENDICT(1) ICU 73.2 Manual GENDICT(1)
NAME gendict - Compiles word list into ICU string trie dictionary
SYNOPSIS gendict [ --uchars | --bytes --transform transform ] [ -h, -?, --help ] [ -V, --version ] [ -c, --copyright ] [ -v, --verbose ] [ -i, --icudatadir directory ] input-file output-file
DESCRIPTION gendict reads the word list from dictionary-file and creates a string trie dictionary file. Normally this data file has the .dict extension.
Words begin at the beginning of a line and are terminated by the first whitespace. Lines that begin with whitespace are ignored.
OPTIONS -h, -?, --help Print help about usage and exit.
-V, --version Print the version of gendict and exit.
-c, --copyright Embeds the standard ICU copyright into the output-file.
-v, --verbose Display extra informative messages during execution.
-i, --icudatadir directory Look for any necessary ICU data files in directory. For example, the file pnames.icu must be located when ICU's data is not built as a shared library. The default ICU data directory is specified by the environment variable ICU_DATA. Most configurations of ICU do not require this argument.
--uchars Set the output trie type to UChar. Mutually exclusive with --bytes.
--bytes Set the output trie type to Bytes. Mutually exclusive with --uchars.
--transform Set the transform type. Should only be specified with --bytes. Currently supported transforms are: offset-<hex-number>, which specifies an offset to subtract from all input characters. It should be noted that the offset transform also maps U+200D to 0xFF and U+200C to 0xFE, in order to offer compatibility to languages that require these characters. A transform must be specified for a bytes trie, and when applied to the non-value characters in the input-file must produce output between 0x00 and 0xFF.
input-file The source file to read.
decimal. Either --bytes or --uchars must be specified.
ENVIRONMENT ICU_DATA Specifies the directory containing ICU data. Defaults to ${prefix}/share/icu/73.2/. Some tools in ICU depend on the presence of the trailing slash. It is thus important to make sure that it is present if ICU_DATA is set.
