10
12 Free `recode' converts files between various character sets and sur‐
13 faces.
14
15 If a long option shows an argument as mandatory, then it is mandatory
16 for the equivalent short option also. Similarly for optional argu‐
17 ments.
18
19 Listings:
20 -l, --list[=FORMAT]
21 list one or all known charsets and aliases
22
23 -k, --known=PAIRS
24 restrict charsets according to known PAIRS list
25
26 -h, --header[=[LN/]NAME]
27 write table NAME on stdout using LN, then exit
28
29 -F, --freeze-tables
30 write out a C module holding all tables
31
32 -T, --find-subsets
33 report all charsets being subset of others
34
35 -C, --copyright
36 display Copyright and copying conditions
37
38 --help display this help and exit
39
40 --version
41 output version information and exit
42
43 Operation modes:
44 -v, --verbose
45 explain sequence of steps and report progress
46
47 -q, --quiet, --silent
48 inhibit messages about irreversible recodings
49
50 -f, --force
51 force recodings even when not reversible
52
53 -t, --touch
54 touch the recoded files after replacement
55
56 -i, --sequence=files
57 use intermediate files for sequencing passes
58
59 --sequence=memory
60 use memory buffers for sequencing passes
61
62 -p, --sequence=pipe
63 use pipe machinery for sequencing passes
64
65 Fine tuning:
66 -s, --strict
67 use strict mappings, even loose characters
68
69 -d, --diacritics
70 convert only diacritics or alike for HTML/LaTeX
71
72 -S, --source[=LN]
73 limit recoding to strings and comments as for LN
74
75 -c, --colons
76 use colons instead of double quotes for diaeresis
77
78 -g, --graphics
79 approximate IBMPC rulers by ASCII graphics
80
81 -x, --ignore=CHARSET
82 ignore CHARSET while choosing a recoding path
83
84 Option -l with no FORMAT nor CHARSET list available charsets and sur‐
85 faces. FORMAT is `decimal', `octal', `hexadecimal' or `full' (or one
86 of `dohf'). Unless DEFAULT_CHARSET is set in environment, CHARSET
87 defaults to the locale dependent encoding, determined by LC_ALL,
88 LC_CTYPE, LANG. With -k, possible before charsets are listed for the
89 given after CHARSET, both being tabular charsets, with PAIRS of the
90 form `BEF1:AFT1,BEF2:AFT2,...' and BEFs and AFTs being codes are given
91 as decimal numbers. LN is some language, it may be `c', `perl' or
92 `po'; `c' is the default.
93
94 REQUEST is SUBREQUEST[,SUBREQUEST]...; SUBREQUEST is ENCODING[..ENCOD‐
95 ING]... ENCODING is [CHARSET][/[SURFACE]]...; REQUEST often looks like
96 BEFORE..AFTER, with BEFORE and AFTER being charsets. An omitted
97 CHARSET implies the usual charset; an omitted [/SURFACE]... means the
98 implied surfaces for CHARSET; a / with an empty surface name means no
99 surfaces at all. See the manual.
100
101 If none of -i and -p are given, presume -p if no FILE, else -i. Each
102 FILE is recoded over itself, destroying the original. If no FILE is
103 specified, then act as a filter and recode stdin to stdout.
