man cvtenc (Commandes) - file encoding converter
NAME
cvtenc - file encoding converter
SYNOPSIS
cvtenc [-Encoding encoding] [-EscapeIn yes|NO] [-EscapeOut yes|NO] filename
DESCRIPTION
Converts a file encoded in a specified or default non-unicode encoding to unicode, or, if the file is already in unicode, converts it to a specified or default non-unicode encoding. The converted text is printed to standard out.
OPTIONS
- -Encoding encoding
- Specify non-unicode encoding to be used. The direction of conversion depends on whether the file given as input is recognized as unicode (from the higher order bytes). To get a list of available encodings, enter "list" for the encoding. If this is not specified, the default encoding for the current locale is used.
- -EscapeIn YES|NO
- Specify '-EscapeIn YES' (the default is 'NO') to parse the input for \u escape sequences (as in property lists).
- -EscapeOut YES|NO
- Specify '-EscapeOut YES' (the default is 'NO') to generate \u escape sequences (as in property lists) in the output. Note, this might produce unexpected results for some encodings.
