Both are used in a Charconv plug-in DLL. </p> <section><title>Descriptions</title> <p>The input to <filepath>cnvtool</filepath> are two text files which are known as the source file and the control file. The source file contains a table of pairs of hexadecimal numbers. The first number in each pair is the encoding of a character in the foreign character set, and the second is the Unicode encoding of the same character. The control file specifies the conversion algorithms to convert (both ways) between ranges of characters, and other information. </p> <p>The <codeph>SCnvConversionData</codeph> data structure and the optional function generated by the tool can be accessed from hand-written C++ code. </p> <p>The <filepath>cnvtool</filepath> -generated C++ file is compiled along with the hand-written C++ file to <xref href="GUID-E8EF06D7-FB4E-598D-9D9D-4395AB6F51C8.dita">create a Charconv plug-in DLL</xref>. </p> </section> <section><title>Syntax</title> <p> <b> Invocation syntax </b>  </p> <p> <codeph>cnvtool -generateSourceCode</codeph> <varname>control-file</varname>  <varname>source-file</varname> <varname>output-file</varname> [<codeph>options</codeph>] </p> <p> <b>Arguments </b>  </p> <table id="GUID-CABD8A7C-5428-5032-A6E9-B02AD8A5C43A"><tgroup cols="2"><colspec colname="col0"/><colspec colname="col1"/><tbody><row><entry><p> <codeph>-generateSourceCode</codeph>  </p> </entry> <entry><p>This must be specified. </p> </entry> </row> <row><entry><p> <varname>control-file</varname>  </p> </entry> <entry><p>The filename of the control file. </p> </entry> </row> <row><entry><p> <varname>source-file</varname>  </p> </entry> <entry><p>The filename of the source text file. </p> </entry> </row> <row><entry><p> <varname>output-file</varname>  </p> </entry> <entry><p>The filename of the generated cpp file. </p> </entry> </row> <row><entry><p>[<codeph>options</codeph>] </p> </entry> <entry><p>See table below. </p> </entry> </row> </tbody> </tgroup> </table> <p> <b>Optional arguments</b>  </p> <p>The optional arguments may be positioned anywhere in the parameter list.
