The binary file has the same base name as +.I convertertable +but has a +.B .cnv +extension (instead of the typical +.B .ucm +extension of the +.I convertertable +file). +This binary file can then be read directly by ICU, or used by +.BR pkgdata (1) +for incorporation into a larger archive or library. +.PP +The +.I convertertable +must be in the ICU ucm (Unicode Codepage Mapping) format in order to +be understood by +.BR makeconv . +The ICU ucm format is similar to the IBM NLTC upmap/tpmap/rpmap files. +Comments in the +.I convertertable +are handled as follows. If a comment (starting with a `#' sign) that +is after some text does contain the fallback indicator `|' then only +the text starting with the `#' sign, and ending before the `|' sign, +is ignored. +Otherwise, or if the comment is the first thing on the line, +the comment runs up to the end of the line. This special +handling of comments is to accommodate the practice of putting fallback +information in comments in the strict IBM NLTC ucmap format. +.PP +Note that new converters will be automatically found by ICU after their +installation in ICU's data directory. They do not need to +be listed in the +.BR convrtrs.txt (5) +converters aliases file in order to be available to applications using ICU. +They do need to be listed there if one wants to give them aliases, or +tags, though. +.SH OPTIONS +.TP +.BR "\-h\fP, \fB\-?\fP, \fB\-\-help" +Print help about usage and exit. +.TP +.BR "\-c\fP, \fB\-\-copyright" +Include a copyright notice in the binary data. +.TP +.BR "\-v\fP, \fB\-\-verbose" +Display extra informative messages during execution. +.TP +.BI "\-d\fP, \fB\-\-destdir" " destination" +Set the destination directory to +.IR destination . +The default destination directory is specified by the environment variable +.BR ICU_DATA . +.SH CAVEATS +If an existing converter table is changed and recompiled using +.BR makeconv , +the resulting binary file must be packaged in the same way that it was +packaged initially. For example, if converters were grouped together in +an archive or a library with +.BR pkgdata (1), +then the archive or library must be rebuilt with the new binary file. +A standalone binary converter file will not take precedence over a +packaged one. +.SH ENVIRONMENT +.TP 10 +.B ICU_DATA +Specifies the directory containing ICU data. Defaults to +.BR ${prefix}/share/icu/67.1/ . +Some tools in ICU depend on the presence of the trailing slash. It is thus +important to make sure that it is present if +.B ICU_DATA +is set. +.SH VERSION +67.1 +.SH COPYRIGHT +Copyright (C) 2000 IBM, Inc. and others. +.SH SEE ALSO +.BR convrtrs.txt (5) +.br +.BR pkgdata (1) +
