| .SH DESCRIPTION |
| .B icupkg |
| reads the input ICU |
| .B .dat |
| package file, modify it according to the options, |
| swap it to the desired platform properties (charset & endianness), |
| and optionally write the resulting ICU |
| .B .dat |
| package to the output file. |
| Items are removed, then added, then extracted and listed. |
| An ICU |
| .B .dat |
| package is written if items are removed or added, |
| or if the input and output filenames differ, |
| or if the |
| .BR "\-w\fP, \fB\-\-writepkg" |
| option is set. |
| .PP |
| 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 |
| .BI "\-t\fP, \fB\-\-type" |
| option. |
| .PP |
| 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 |
| .BI "\-t\fP, \fB\-w\fP, \fB\-s\fP" |
| and |
| .BI \-d |
| . |
| The filenames can be absolute, or relative to the source/dest dir paths. |
| Other options are not allowed in this mode. |
| .SH OPTIONS |
| .TP |
| .BR "\-h\fP, \fB\-?\fP, \fB\-\-help" |
| Print help about usage and exit. |
| .TP |
| .BI "\-tl\fP, \fB\-\-type" " l" |
| Output for little-endian/ASCII charset family. |
| The output type defaults to the input type. |
| .TP |
| .BI "\-tb\fP, \fB\-\-type" " b" |
| Output for big-endian/ASCII charset family. |
| The output type defaults to the input type. |
| .TP |
| .BI "\-te\fP, \fB\-\-type" " e" |
| Output for big-endian/EBCDIC charset family. |
| The output type defaults to the input type. |
| .TP |
| .BR \-c\fP, \fB\-\-copyright |
| Include the ICU copyright notice in the resulting data. |
| .TP |
| .BI "\-C\fP, \fB\-\-comment" " comment" |
| Include the specified |
| .I comment |
| in the resulting data instead of the ICU copyright notice. |
| .TP |
| .BI "\-a\fP, \fB\-\-add" " list" |
| Add items from the |
| .I list |
| to the package. The list can be a single filename with a |
| .B .txt |
| file extension containing a list of item filenames, or an ICU |
| .B .dat |
| package filename. |
| .TP |
| .BI "\-r\fP, \fB\-\-remove" " list" |
| Remove items from the |
| .I list |
| from the package. The list can be a single filename with a |
| .B .txt |
| file extension containing a list of item filenames, or an ICU |
| .B .dat |
| package filename. |
| .TP |
| .BI "\-x\fP, \fB\-\-extract" " list" |
| Extract items from the |
| .I list |
| from the package. The list can be a single filename with a |
| .B .txt |
| file extension containing a list of item filenames, or an ICU |
| .B .dat |
| package filename. |
| .TP |
| .BI "\-m\fP, \fB\-\-matchmode" " mode" |
| Set the matching mode for item names with wildcards. |
| .TP |
| .BI "\-s\fP, \fB\-\-sourcedir" " source" |
| Set the source directory to |
| .IR source . |
| The default source directory is the current directory. |
| .TP |
| .BI "\-d\fP, \fB\-\-destdir" " destination" |
| Set the destination directory to |
| .IR destination . |
| The default destination directory is the current directory. |
| .TP |
| .BI "\-l\fP, \fB\-\-list" |
| List the package items to stdout (after modifying the package). |
| .SH LIST FILE SYNTAX |
| Items are listed on one or more lines and separated by whitespace (space+tab). |
| Comments begin with |
| .B # |
| 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. |
| .PP |
| Items for removal or extraction may contain a single |
| .B * |
| wildcard character. The |
| .B * |
| matches zero or more characters. If |
| .BI "\-m\fP, \fB\-\-matchmode" " noslash" |
| is set, then the |
| .B * |
| character does not match the |
| .B / |
| character. |
| .PP |
| Items must be listed relative to the package, and the |
| .B "\fB\-\-sourcedir" |
| or the |
| .B "\fB\-\-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. |
| .PP |
| Paths may contain |
| .B / |
| instead of the platform's file separator character and are converted as |
| appropriate. |
