This manual page documents briefly the cbcodec commands.

cbcodec is a tool to use encoding and decoding features provided by Cabin. This command is used in the above format. file specifies a input file. If it is omitted, the standard input is read.

A summary of options is included below. For a complete description, see the file:///usr/share/doc/qdbm-doc/spex.html#cabincli.

-d

perform decoding (unescaping), not encoding (escaping).

-br

break up URL into elements.

-l

output the tailing newline.

-e expr

specify input data directly.

-c num

limit the number of columns of the encoded data.

-hd

parse MIME and extract headers in TSV format.

-bd

parse MIME and extract the body.

-part num

parse MIME and extract a part.

-ec code

specify the input encoding, which is UTF-8 by default.

-qp

use quoted-printable encoding, which is Base64 by default.

-dc

output the encoding name instead of the result string when decoding.

-t

parse CSV. Convert the data into TSV. Tab and new-line in a cell are deleted.

-html

parse CSV. Convert the data into HTML.

-p

parse XML. Show tags and text sections with dividing headers.

-tsv

parse XML. Show the result in TSV format. Characters of tabs and new-lines are URL-encoded.

-gz

use GZIP format.

-crc

output the CRC32 checksum as hexadecimal and big endian.

-ic code

specify the input encoding, which is detected automatically by default.

-oc code

specify the output encoding, which is UTF-8 by default.

-ol ltype

convert line feed characters, with `unix'(LF), `dos'(CRLF), and `mac'(CR).

-cn

detect the input encoding and show its name.

-um

output mappings of UCS-2 characters and C strings of UTF-16BE and UTF-8.

-wf

output in W3CDTF format.

-rf

output in RFC 1123 format.

-utc

output the coordinate universal time.
