GENCFU(1)                   ICU 76.0.1 Manual                  GENCFU(1)

NAME top

       gencfu - Generates Unicode Confusable data files

SYNOPSIS top

       gencfu [ -h, -?, --help ] [ -V, --version ] [ -c, --copyright ] [
       -v, --verbose ] [ -d, --destdir destination ] [ -i, --icudatadir
       directory ] -r, --rules rule-file -w, --wsrules
       whole-script-rule-file -o, --out output-file

DESCRIPTION top

       gencfu reads confusable character definitions in the input file,
       which are plain text files containing confusable character
       definitions in the input format defined by Unicode UAX39 for the
       files confusables.txt and confusablesWholeScript.txt.  This
       source (.txt) format is also accepted by ICU spoof detectors.
       The files must be encoded in utf-8 format, with or without a BOM.
       Normally the output data file has the .cfu extension.

OPTIONS top

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

       -V, --version
              Print the version of gencfu and exit.

       -c, --copyright
              Embeds the standard ICU copyright into the output-file.

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

       -d, --destdir destination
              Set the destination directory of the output-file to
              destination.

       -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.

       -r, --rules rule-file
              The source file to read.

       -w, --wsrules whole-script-rule-file
              The whole script source file to read.

       -o, --out output-file
              The output data file to write.
