10 cvtenc [-Encoding encoding] [-EscapeIn yes|NO] [-EscapeOut yes|NO]
11 filename
12
15 Converts a file encoded in a specified or default non-unicode encoding
16 to unicode (UTF16), or, if the file is already in unicode, converts it
17 to a specified or default non-unicode encoding. The converted text is
18 printed to standard out. If the filename is a hyphen then this tool
19 reads from standard input.
20
23 -Encoding encoding
24 Specify non-unicode encoding to be used. The direction of conver‐
25 sion depends on whether the file given as input is recognized as
26 unicode (from the higher order bytes). To get a list of available
27 encodings, enter "list" for the encoding. If this is not speci‐
28 fied, the default encoding for the current locale is used.
29 -EscapeIn YES|NO
31 Specify '-EscapeIn YES' (the default is 'NO') to parse the input
32 for \u escape sequences (as in property lists).
33 -EscapeOut YES|NO
35 Specify '-EscapeOut YES' (the default is 'NO') to generate \u
36 escape sequences (as in property lists) in the output. Note, this
37 might produce unexpected results for some encodings.
38 -Unicode IN|OUT
40 Specify '-Unicode IN' (or '-Unicode OUT') to control the direction
41 of conversion rather than having the tool guess it on the basis of
42 the content it reads. Using '-Unicode IN' means that the tool
43 reads UTF16 data and writes C-String data, while using '-Unicode
44 OUT' merans that the tool reads C-String data and writes UTF16
45 data.
