| The ConvertPOSIXLocale application converts POSIX locale files to
Java and ICU Locale files. It's usage is as follows
ConvertPOSIXLocale
[-LC_CTYPE]
[-LC_TIME]
[-LC_NUMERIC]
[-LC_MONETARY]
[-LC_MESSAGES]
[-11]
[-12]
[-icu]
[-icu2]
localeName
localeDataFile
[charMapFile ...]
The application is invoked with options specifying the format(s) of
the locale file(s) to generate as well as the POSIX locale file and
character mapping files.
Usage
-LC_CTYPE
If the -LC_CTYPE option is specified, the
following items are added to the locale if they
are present in the source: upper, lower, alpha, digit,
space, cntrl, punct, graph, print, xdigit, blank,
toupper, tolower.
-LC_TIME
If the -LC_TIME option is specified, the following
items will be included if they are present in the POSIX source:
abday, day, abmon, mon, d_t_fmt, d_ftm, t_fmt, am_pm,
t_fmt_ampm, era, era_year, era_d_fmt, alt_digits.
-LC_NUMERIC
If the -LC_NUMERIC option is specified, the following
items will be included if they are present in the source:
decimal_point, thousands_sep, grouping
-LC_MONETARY
If the -LC_MONETARY option is specified, the following
items will be included if they are present in the source:
int_curr_symbol, currency_symbol, mon_decimal_point,
mon_thousands_sep, mon_grouping, positive_sign,
negative_sign, int_frac_digits, frac_digits, p_cs_precedes,
p_sep_by_space, n_cs_precedes, n_sep_by_space, p_sign_posn.
-LC_MESSAGES
If the -LC_MESSAGES option is specified, the
following items are added to the locale if they
are present in the source: yesexpr, noexpr
-11
If this option is specified, data is output in
Java 1.1.x locale format.
-12
If this option is specified, data is output in
Java 1.2.x locale format. If an output format
is not specified, -12 is the default.
-icu
If this option is specified, data is output in
ICU locale format.
localeName
The name of the locale in the localeDataFile. Ex. en_US.
localeDataFile
The localeDataFile path is required and specifies the path
to the locale data file. If a "copy" directive is encountered
while processing the localeDataFile, ConvertPOSIXLocale will look
in the same directory as the localeDataFile for additional
POSIX locale data files. Files must be in the POSIX format
specified in ISO/IEC 9945- with exceptions noted below. Exactly
one localeDataFile must be specified.
charMapFile
Zero or more character mapping files may be specified. charMapFiles are used
to map symbols in the localeDataFile to Unicode values. They are processed
as follows. ConvertPOSIXLocale searchs for a line containing only the
word "CHARMAP" and reads symbol mappings until it reaches a line
containing only the words "END CHARMAP". Symbol mappings have
the form " " where "" is any symbol valid
in a localeDataFile and "hhhh" is four hexidecimal digits representing
the Unicode value for that symbol. Surrogate pairs are not supported
in charMapFiles. An example charMapFile might contain the following:
CHARMAP
END CHARMAP
specifying that the symbol should be replaced by
the Unicode value of 0x0002 wherever it occurs.
When multiple charMapFiles are specified, mappings in files listed
later take precedence over earlier ones.
Conversion to ICU and Java:
collations
Converted from the LC_COLLATE section. The "..." directive is ignored.
The "replace-after" directive is ignored.
CurrencyElements
element 0 is set to currency_symbol
element 1 is set to int_curr_symbol
element 2 is set to mon_decimal_point
All other elements default.
NumberElements
element 0 is set to decimal_point
element 1 is set to thousands_sep
MonthNames is set to mon
MonthAbbreviations is set to abmon
DayNames is set to day
DayAbbreviations is set to abday
AmPmMarkers is set to am_pm
DateTimePatterns
elements 0 through 3 are set to t_fmt_ampm with the patterns converted
elements 4 through 7 are set to d_fmt with the patterns converted
Adition POSIX data may be included in the Locale as follows:
LC_TYPE
This section is ignored unless the -LC_CTYPE option is
specified. If the -LC_CTYPE option is specified, the
following items are added to the locale if they
are present in the source: upper, lower, alpha, digit,
space, cntrl, punct, graph, print, xdigit, blank,
toupper, tolower.
LC_MESSAGES
LC_MONETARY
LC_NUMERIC
LC_TIME
If the -LC_TIME option is specified, the following
items will be included if they are present in the source:
abday, day, abmon, mon, d_t_fmt, d_ftm, t_fmt, am_pm,
t_fmt_ampm, era, era_year, era_d_fmt, alt_digits.
LC_COLLATE
Converted to collations in the resource file.
