+The
+.BR static
+packaging mode is similar to dll or library, however it produces a
+static library.  Note that many platforms are not able to dynamically load 
+symbols from static object files, so for this reason 
+.BR udata_setAppData() 
+must be called
+to install this data.  As a convenience, pkgdata will build a C source file
+and a header file. Given a data package named "\fIname\fP", in the output 
+directory will be created \fIname\fR.c and \fIname\fR.h with the single
+function \fBudata_install_\fIname\fB(UErrorCode *err)\fR. Call this function
+once early in the program. The error code returned is that of \fBudata_setAppData()\fP.
+Subsequently, the application can access this data by passing "\fIname\fP" for the "path"
+argument to functions such as \fBures_open()\fP.
