Usage: icupkg [-h|-?|--help ] [-tl|-tb|-te] [-c] [-C comment] [-a list] [-r list] [-x list] [-l [-o outputListFileName]] [-s path] [-d path] [-w] [-m mode] [--auto_toc_prefix] [--auto_toc_prefix_with_type] [--toc_prefix] infilename [outfilename] Read the input ICU .dat package file, modify it according to the options, swap it to the desired platform properties (charset & endianness), and optionally write the resulting ICU .dat package to the output file. Items are removed, then added, then extracted and listed. An ICU .dat package is written if items are removed or added, or if the input and output filenames differ, or if the --writepkg (-w) option is set. If the input filename is "new" then an empty package is created. If the output filename is missing, then it is automatically generated from the input filename: If the input filename ends with an l, b, or e matching its platform properties, then the output filename will contain the letter from the -t (--type) option. This tool can also be used to just swap a single ICU data file, replacing the former icuswap tool. For this mode, provide the infilename (and optional outfilename) for a non-package ICU data file. Allowed options include -t, -w, -s and -d. The filenames can be absolute, or relative to the source/dest dir paths. Other options are not allowed in this mode. Options: (Only the last occurrence of an option is used.) -h or -? or --help print this message and exit -tl or --type l output for little-endian/ASCII charset family -tb or --type b output for big-endian/ASCII charset family -te or --type e output for big-endian/EBCDIC charset family The output type defaults to the input type. -c or --copyright include the ICU copyright notice -C comment or --comment comment include a comment string -a list or --add list add items to the package -r list or --remove list remove items from the package -x list or --extract list extract items from the package The list can be a single item's filename, or a .txt filename with a list of item filenames, or an ICU .dat package filename. -w or --writepkg write the output package even if no items are removed or added (e.g., for only swapping the data) -m mode or --matchmode mode set the matching mode for item names with wildcards noslash: the '*' wildcard does not match the '/' tree separator In the .dat package, the Table of Contents (ToC) contains an entry for each item of the form prefix/tree/itemname . The prefix normally matches the package basename, and icupkg checks that, but this is not necessary when ICU need not find and load the package by filename. ICU package names end with the platform type letter, and thus differ between platform types. This is not required for user data packages. --auto_toc_prefix automatic ToC entries prefix Uses the prefix of the first entry of the input package, rather than its basename. Requires a non-empty input package. --auto_toc_prefix_with_type auto_toc_prefix + adjust platform type Same as auto_toc_prefix but also checks that the prefix ends with the input platform type letter, and modifies it to the output platform type letter. At most one of the auto_toc_prefix options can be used at a time. --toc_prefix prefix ToC prefix to be used in the output package Overrides the package basename and --auto_toc_prefix. Cannot be combined with --auto_toc_prefix_with_type. List file syntax: Items are listed on one or more lines and separated by whitespace (space+tab). Comments begin with # and are ignored. Empty lines are ignored. Lines where the first non-whitespace character is one of "%&'()*+,-./:;<=>?_ are also ignored, to reserve for future syntax. Items for removal or extraction may contain a single '*' wildcard character. The '*' matches zero or more characters. If --matchmode noslash (-m noslash) is set, then the '*' does not match '/'. Items must be listed relative to the package, and the --sourcedir or the --destdir path will be prepended. The paths are only prepended to item filenames while adding or extracting items, not to ICU .dat package or list filenames. Paths may contain '/' instead of the platform's file separator character, and are converted as appropriate. -s path or --sourcedir path directory for the --add items -d path or --destdir path directory for the --extract items -l or --list list the package items (after modifying the package) to stdout or to output list file -o path or --outlist path path/filename for the --list output
