NAME

       gennames - compile Unicode code points names into a data file

SYNOPSIS

       gennames  [  -h,  -?,  --help ] [ -v, --verbose ] [ -q, --quiet ] [ -d,
       --destdir destination  ]  [  -u,  --unicode  version  ]  [  -1,  --uni-
       code1-names ] [ filename ]

DESCRIPTION

       gennames reads the Unicode character database from filename and produce
       the file unames.dat in its destination directory.  Optionally,  Unicode
       1.0  names  can  be chosen over Unicode 2.0 names for those code points
       whose names were changed for Unicode 2.0.

OPTIONS

       -h, -?, --help
              Print help about usage and exit.

       -v, --verbose
              Display extra informative messages during execution.

       -q, --quiet
              Do not display any message during execution.

       -d, --destdir destination
              Set the destination directory to destination.  The default  des-
              tination  directory  is  specified  by  the environment variable
              ICU_DATA, or the location set when ICU was built if ICU_DATA  is
              not set.

       -u, --unicode version
              Mark  the  character names as belong to the specified version of
              Unicode. The default version is 3.1.1.

       -1, --unicode1-names
              Store Unicode 1.0 names in addition of  Unicode  2.0  names  for
              those code points whose names were changed for Unicode 2.0.

ENVIRONMENT

       ICU_DATA  Specifies  the  directory  containing  ICU  data. Defaults to
                 /usr/lib/icu/3.2/.  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.

VERSION

       3.2
