NAME

6       sfconv  -  A  tool  for converting the encoding of Standard Format (SF)
7       files
8

SYNOPSIS

10   8-bit to Unicode:
11       sfconv -8u [-utf8|-be|-le] [-bom] -c ControlFile [-d  MappingDirectory]
12       -i InFile -o OutFile
13
14   Unicode to 8-bit:
15       sfconv  -u8  [-utf8|-be|-le]  -c  ControlFile  [-d MappingDirectory] -i
16       InFile -o OutFile
17

DESCRIPTION

19       A tool for converting Standard Format (SF) files  is  included  in  the
20       current TECkit package.  This is sfconv , a command-line tool that uses
21       an XML “control file” to specify the mappings associated with the vari‐
22       ous  markers in an SF file. Note that the current SFconv tool should be
23       considered a prototype rather than a full solution to the issue  of  SF
24       conversions. A more complete tool with an improved user interface would
25       be desirable.
26

OPTIONS

28       The SFconv utility uses command-line options to specify the  conversion
29       direction, control file, and input and output files. The required argu‐
30       ments are:
31
32       -8u|-u8
33              conversion direction: 8-bit to Unicode or vice versa
34
35       -ccontrolFile
36              specifies XML control file
37
38       -iinFile
39              specifies filename of input SF file
40
41       -ooutFile
42              specifies filename for converted output
43
44              In addition, the following optional arguments  may  be  used  if
45              appropriate:
46
47       -dmappingDir
48              directory where mapping files ( .tec files) are to be found
49
50       -utf8|-be|-le
51              Unicode  encoding form: UTF-8, UTF-16BE, or UTF16-LE (default is
52              UTF8 for output, or detected from input file if BOM is present)
53
54       -bom   (only when mapping to Unicode) write initial BOM to  the  output
55              file
56
57       -nfc|-nfd
58              (only when mapping to Unicode) normalize to NFC or NFD
