wchrtbl reads the user-defined character classification and conversion information from file and creates three output files in the current directory. One output file, wctype.c (a C language source file), contains the variable sized array generated from processing the information from file. You should review the content of wctype.c to verify that the array is set up as you had planned. The first 257 bytes of the array in wctype.c are used for character classification for single byte characters. The characters used for initializing these bytes of the array represent character classifications that are defined in ctype.h; for example, ``_L'' means a character is lower case and ``_S''|``_B'' means the character is both a spacing character and a blank. The second 257 bytes of the array are used for character conversion. These bytes of the array are initialized so that characters for which you do not provide conversion information will be converted to themselves. When you do provide conversion information, the first value of the pair is stored where the second one would be stored normally, and vice versa. For example, if you provide <0x41 0x61>, then 0x61 is stored where 0x41 would be stored normally, and 0x61 is stored where 0x41 would be stored normally. The last 7 bytes are used for character width information. Up to three supplementary code sets can be specified.
For supplementary code sets, there are three sets of tables. The first set is three pointer arrays which point to supplementary code set information tables. If the corresponding supplementary code set information is not specified, the contents of the pointers are zeros. The second one is a set of three supplementary code set information tables. Each table contains minimum and maximum code values to be classified and converted, and also contains pointers to character classification and conversion tables. If there is no corresponding table, the contents of the pointers are zeros. The last one is a set of character classification and conversion tables which contain the same information as the single byte table except that the codes are represented as process codes and the table size is variable. The characters used for initializing values of the character classification table represent character classifications that are defined in ctype.h and wctype.h. ``_E1'' through ``_E8'' are for international use and ``_E9'' through ``_E24'' are for language-dependent use.
The second output file (a data file) contains the same information, but is structured for efficient use by the character classification and conversion routines [see ctype(3C) and wctype(3C)]. The name of this output file is the value of the character classification LC_CTYPE read in from file. This output file must be copied to the /usr/lib/locale/locale/LC_CTYPE file by someone who is super-user or a member of group ``bin''. This file must be readable by user, group, and other; no other permissions should be set. To use the character classification and conversion tables on this file, set the LC_CTYPE category of setlocale [see setlocale(3C)] appropriately.
The third output file (a data file) is created only if numeric editing information is specified in the input file. The name of the file is the value of the character classification LC_NUMERIC read from the file. This output file must be copied to the /usr/lib/locale/locale/LC_NUMERIC file by someone who is super-user or a member of group ``bin''. This file must be readable by user, group, and other; no other permissions should be set. To use the numeric editing information on this file, set the LC_NUMERIC category of setlocale appropriately.
If no input file is given, or if the argument ``-'' is encountered, wchrtbl reads from standard input.
The syntax of file allows the user to define the name of the data file created by wchrtbl, the assignment of characters to character classifications, the relationship between conversion letters, and byte and screen widths for up to three supplementary code sets. The keywords recognized by wchrtbl are:
The keywords iswchar1 through iswchar24 correspond to bit names ``_E1'' through ``_E24'' defined in wctype.h
Any lines with the number sign ``#'' in the first column are treated as comments and are ignored. Blank lines are also ignored.
Characters for isupper, islower, isdigit, isspace, ispunct, iscntl, isblank, isxdigit, ul, isphonogram, isideogram, isenglish, isnumber, isspecial, and iswchar1-iswchar24 can be represented as hexadecimal or octal constants (for example, the letter ``a'' can be represented as 0x61 in hexadecimal or 0141 in octal) and must be up to two byte process codes. Hexadecimal and octal constants may be separated by one or more space and tab characters.
The following is the format of an input specification for cswidth (byte widths for supplementary code sets 2 and 3 are exclusive of the single shift characters):
cswidth n1[[:s1][,n2[:s2][,n3[:s3]]]]
where,
The dash character ``-'' may be used to indicate a range of consecutive numbers (inclusive of the characters delimiting the range). Zero or more space characters may be used for separating the dash character from the numbers.
The backslash character ``\'' is used for line continuation. Only a carriage return is permitted after the backslash character.
The relationship between conversion
letters (ul)
is expressed as ordered pairs of octal or hexadecimal constants:
<converting-character converted-character>.
These two constants must be up to two byte process codes
and may be separated by one or more space characters.
Zero or more space characters may be used
for separating the angle brackets (< >) from
the numbers.
