Produce packaged ICU data from the given list(s) of files.
'-' by itself means to read from stdin.
packageFile is a text file containing the list of files to package.
options:
[REQ] -p or --name Set the data name
-O or --bldopt The directory where the ICU is located (e.g. <ICUROOT> which contains the bin directory)
-m or --mode Specify the mode of building (see below; default: common)
-h or --help This usage text
-? or --help This usage text
-v or --verbose Make the output verbose
-c or --copyright Use the standard ICU copyright
-C or --comment Use a custom comment (instead of the copyright)
-d or --destdir Specify the destination directory for files
-F or --rebuild Force rebuilding of all data
-T or --tempdir Specify temporary dir (default: output dir)
-I or --install Install the data (specify target)
-s or --sourcedir Specify a custom source directory
-e or --entrypoint Specify a custom entrypoint name (default: short name)
-r or --revision Specify a version when packaging in dll or static mode
-f or --force-prefix Add package to all file names if not present
-L or --libname Library name to build (if different than package name)
-q or --quiet Quiet mode. (e.g. Do not output a readme file for static libraries)
-w or --without-assembly Build the data without assembly code
-z or --zos-pds-build Build PDS dataset (zOS build only)
-u or --windows-uwp-build Build for Universal Windows Platform (Windows build only)
-a or --windows-DLL-arch Specify the DLL machine architecture for LINK.exe (Windows build only)
-b or --windows-dynamicbase Ignored. Enable DYNAMICBASE on the DLL. This is now the default. (Windows build only)
modes: (-m option)
files Uses raw data files (no effect). Installation copies all files to the target location.
dll / library Generates one shared library, <package>.so
common / archive Generates one common data file, <package>.dat
static / static Generates one statically linked library, lib<package>.a
