| <h2>DESCRIPTION |
| <a name="DESCRIPTION"></a> |
| </h2> |
| |
| |
| <p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">The |
| <b>iconv</b> program converts text from one encoding to |
| another encoding. More precisely, it converts <b>from</b> |
| the encoding given for the <b>−f</b> option <b>to</b> |
| the encoding given for the <b>−t</b> option. Either of |
| these encodings defaults to the encoding of the current |
| locale. All the <i>inputfile</i>s are read and converted in |
| turn; if no <i>inputfile</i> is given, the standard input is |
| used. The converted text is printed to standard output.</p> |
| |
| <p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">The encodings |
| permitted are system dependent. For the libiconv |
| implementation, they are listed in the iconv_open(3) manual |
| page.</p> |
| |
| <p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">Options |
| controlling the input and output format: <b><br> |
| −f</b> <i>encoding</i>, |
| <b>−−from−code=</b><i>encoding</i></p> |
| |
| <p style="margin-left:22%;">Specifies the encoding of the |
| input.</p> |
| |
| <p style="margin-left:11%;"><b>−t</b> |
| <i>encoding</i>, |
| <b>−−to−code=</b><i>encoding</i></p> |
| |

| <p style="margin-left:11%;"><b>−−unicode−subst=</b><i>formatstring</i></p> |
| |
| <p style="margin-left:22%;">When this option is given, |
| Unicode characters that cannot be represented in the target |
| encoding are replaced with a placeholder string that is |
| constructed from the given <i>formatstring</i>, applied to |
| the Unicode code point. The <i>formatstring</i> must be a |
| format string in the same format as for the <i>printf</i> |
| command or the <i>printf()</i> function, taking either no |
| argument or exactly one unsigned integer argument.</p> |
| |
| |
| <p style="margin-left:11%;"><b>−−byte−subst=</b><i>formatstring</i></p> |
| |
| <p style="margin-left:22%;">When this option is given, |
| bytes in the input that are not valid in the source encoding |
| are replaced with a placeholder string that is constructed |
| from the given <i>formatstring</i>, applied to the |
| byte’s value. The <i>formatstring</i> must be a format |
| string in the same format as for the <i>printf</i> command |
| or the <i>printf()</i> function, taking either no argument |
| or exactly one unsigned integer argument.</p> |
| |
| |
| <p style="margin-left:11%;"><b>−−widechar−subst=</b><i>formatstring</i></p> |
| |
| <p style="margin-left:22%;">When this option is given, wide |
| characters in the input that are not valid in the source |
| encoding are replaced with a placeholder string that is |
| constructed from the given <i>formatstring</i>, applied to |
| the byte’s value. The <i>formatstring</i> must be a |
| format string in the same format as for the <i>printf</i> |
| command or the <i>printf()</i> function, taking either no |
| argument or exactly one unsigned integer argument.</p> |
| |
| <p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">Options |
| controlling error output: <b><br> |
| −s</b>, <b>−−silent</b></p> |
| |
| <p style="margin-left:22%;">When this option is given, |
| error messages about invalid or unconvertible characters are |
| omitted, but the actual converted text is unaffected.</p> |
| |
| <p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">The <b>iconv |
| −l</b> or <b>iconv −−list</b> command |
| lists the names of the supported encodings, in a system |
| dependent format. For the libiconv implementation, the names |
| are printed in upper case, separated by whitespace, and |
| alias names of an encoding are listed on the same line as |
| the encoding itself.</p> |
