DESCRIPTION

15       Converts  a file encoded in a specified or default non-unicode encoding
16       to unicode, or, if the file is already in unicode,  converts  it  to  a
17       specified  or  default  non-unicode  encoding.   The  converted text is
18       printed to standard out.

OPTIONS

22       -Encoding  encoding
23           Specify non-unicode encoding to be used.  The direction of  conver‐
24           sion  depends  on  whether the file given as input is recognized as
25           unicode (from the higher order bytes).  To get a list of  available
26           encodings,  enter  "list"  for the encoding.  If this is not speci‐
27           fied, the default encoding for the current locale is used.
28
29       -EscapeIn YES|NO
30           Specify '-EscapeIn YES' (the default is 'NO') to  parse  the  input
31           for \u escape sequences (as in property lists).
32
33       -EscapeOut YES|NO
34           Specify  '-EscapeOut  YES'  (the  default  is  'NO') to generate \u
35           escape sequences (as in property lists) in the output.  Note,  this
36           might produce unexpected results for some encodings.
