UNIGENWIDTH(1) General Commands Manual UNIGENWIDTH(1)

# [NAME](#NAME)

unigenwidth - Generate C code for POSIX wcwidth and wcswidth functions

# [SYNOPSIS](#SYNOPSIS)

**unigenwidth** *unifont.hex combining.txt* &gt; *wccode.c*

# [DESCRIPTION](#DESCRIPTION)

**unigenwidth** reads a collection of glyphs in Unifont's .hex format, then reads a list of combining characters as a hexadecimal list. From these two files, it produces C code to implement the POSIX [**wcwidth(3)**](/man/enterprise-packages/font-unifont/wcwidth.3) and [**wcswidth(3)**](/man/enterprise-packages/font-unifont/wcswidth.3) functions. The format of these definitions is based upon POSIX 1003.1-2008 System Interfaces, pages 2251 and 2241, respectively.

# [EXAMPLE](#EXAMPLE)

Sample usage:

unigenwidth unifont.hex combining.txt &gt; wccode.c

# [FILES](#FILES)

\*.hex files for Unifont glyph data; combining.txt for combining code points.
