NAME

cvtenc - file encoding converter

SYNOPSIS

cvtenc[-Encoding encoding][-EscapeIn yes|NO][-EscapeOut yes|NO]
filename

DESCRIPTION

Converts a file encoded in a specified or default non-unicode encoding tounicode (UTF16), or, if the file is already in unicode, converts it to aspecified or default non-unicode encoding.The converted text is printed to standard out.If the filename is a hyphen then this tool reads from standard input.

OPTIONS

-Encoding encoding

Specify non-unicode encoding to be used. The direction of conversion dependson whether the file given as input is recognized as unicode (from the higherorder bytes). To get a list of available encodings, enter "list" for theencoding. If this is not specified, the default encoding for the currentlocale is used.

-EscapeIn YES|NO

Specify '-EscapeIn YES' (the default is 'NO') to parse the input for \uescape sequences (as in property lists).

-EscapeOut YES|NO

Specify '-EscapeOut YES' (the default is 'NO') to generate \u escapesequences (as in property lists) in the output. Note, this might produceunexpected results for some encodings.

-Unicode IN|OUT

Specify '-Unicode IN' (or '-Unicode OUT') to control the direction ofconversion rather than having the tool guess it on the basis of the contentit reads. Using '-Unicode IN' means that the tool reads UTF16 data andwrites C-String data, while using '-Unicode OUT' merans that the tool readsC-String data and writes UTF16 data.
