NAME

6       gauche-cesconv - convert text from one character encoding scheme to
7       another
8

SYNOPSIS

10       gauche-cesconv [-h] [-f encoding] [-t encoding] [-o outfile] [infile]
11

DESCRIPTION

13       The gauche-cesconv command is a program to convert text from one
14       character encoding scheme (CES) to another, using Gauche's character
15       conversion module.  Hence the supported character sets are the same as
16       Gauche's.  See the info document of Gauche for more details.
17
18       There are other commands that provide the same functionality and more,
19       such as iconv(1) or nkf(1), but they are not universally available by
20       default.  This command is provided for Gauche's external packages to
21       ease the installation and configuration process; for those packages, it
22       is certain that gauche-cesconv is available, so they don't need to
23       check availability of iconv etc.
24
25       When infile is omitted, the text is read from standard input.
26

OPTIONS

28       -f, --from-code=encoding
29           Selects input encoding. Can be ´*JP´ to guess the character
30           encoding from japanese text, among either ISO2022-JP(-1,2,3),
31           EUCJP, SHIFT_JIS or UTF-8.  If omitted, gauche´s native CES is
32           used.
33
34       -h, --help
35           Show summary of options.
36
37       -o, --output=outfile
38           Place output in file outfile. If omitted the converted text is
39           written to standard output.
40
41       -t, --to-code=encoding
42           Selects output encoding. (see also --from-code)
