6 manconv - convert manual page from one encoding to another
7
9 manconv -f from-code[:from-code...] -t to-code [-dqhV] [filename]
10
12 manconv converts a manual page from one encoding to another, like
13 iconv. Unlike iconv, it can try multiple possible input encodings in
14 sequence. This is useful for manual pages installed in directories
15 without an explicit encoding declaration, since they may be in UTF-8 or
16 in a legacy character set.
17
18 If an encoding declaration is found on the first line of the manual
19 page, that declaration overrides any input encodings specified on man‐
20 conv's command line. Encoding declarations have the following form:
21
22 '\" -*- coding: UTF-8 -*-
23
24 or (if manual page preprocessors are also to be declared):
25
26 '\" t -*- coding: ISO-8859-1 -*-
27
29 -f encodings, --from-code encodings
30 Try each of encodings (a colon-separated list) in sequence as
31 the input encoding.
32
33 -t encoding, --to-code encoding
34 Convert the manual page to encoding.
35
36 -q, --quiet
37 Do not issue error messages when the page cannot be converted.
38
39 -d, --debug
40 Print debugging information.
41
42 -h, --help
43 Print a help message and exit.
44
45 -V, --version
46 Display version information.
