NAME

       unaccent - remove accents from input stream or a string

SYNOPSIS

       unaccent [--debug_low] [--debug_high] [-h] charset [string] [expected]

DESCRIPTION

       With  a	single argument, unaccent reads data from stdin, replaces accented letters by their unaccented equivalent and writes the result on
       stdout.	If the second argument ('string') is provided unaccent transforms it by replacing accented letters by their unaccented equivalent.
       The  result  is	printed on the standard output.  The charset of the input string or the data read from stdin is specified by the 'charset'
       argument (ISO-8859-15 for instance). The output is printed using the same charset.

       If the 'expected' argument is provided, the output string is compared to it. If they are not equal unaccent exits on error.

       unaccent relies on the iconv(3) library to convert from the specified charset to UTF-16BE (or UTF-16 if UTF-16BE  is  not  available).  You
       should check the manual pages for available charsets. On GNU/Linux the command

       iconv -l

       shows all available charsets.

OPTIONS

       --debug_low
	      Prints human readable information about the unaccentuation process. See unac(3) for more information.

       --debug_high
	      Prints very detailed information about the unaccentuation process.  See unac(3) for more information.

       --help -h
	      Prints a short usage and exits.

EXAMPLES

       Remove accents from the string ete and check that the result is ete.

       unaccent ISO-8859-1 ete ete

       Remove accents from file myfile and put the result in file myfile.unaccent

       unaccent ISO-8859-1 < myfile > myfile.unaccent

NAME

       yaz-iconv - YAZ Character set conversion utility

SYNOPSIS

       yaz-iconv [-f from] [-t to] [-v] [file...]

DESCRIPTION

       yaz-iconv converts data in file in character set specified by from to output in character set as specified by to.

       This yaz-iconv utility similar to the iconv found on many POSIX systems (Glibc, Solaris, etc).

       If no file is specified, yaz-iconv reads from standard input.

OPTIONS

       -ffrom]
	   Specify the character set from of the input file. Should be used in conjunction with option -t.

       -tto]
	   Specify the character set of of the output. Should be used in conjunction with option -f.

       -v
	   Print more information about the conversion process.

ENCODINGS

       The yaz-iconv command and the API as defined in yaz/yaz-iconv.h is a wrapper for the library system call iconv. But YAZ' iconv utility also
       implements conversions on its own. The table below lists characters sets (or encodings). that are supported by YAZ. Each character set is
       marked with either encode or decode. If an encoding is encode-enabled YAZ may convert to to the designated encoding. If an encoding is
       decode-enabled, YAZ may convert from the designated encoding.

       marc8 (encode, decode)
	   The MARC8[1] encoding as defined by the Library of Congress. Most MARC21/USMARC records usees this encoding.

       marc8s (encode, decode)
	   Like MARC8 but with conversion prefers non-combined characters in the Latin-1 plane over combined characters.

       marc8lossy (encode)
	   Lossy encoding of MARC-8.

       marc8lossless (encode)
	   Lossless encoding of MARC8.

       utf8 (encode, decode)
	   The most commonly used UNICODE encoding on the Internet.

       iso8859-1 (encode, decode)
	   ISO-8859-1, AKA Latin-1.

       iso5426 (decode)
	   ISO 5426. Some MARC records (UNIMARC) uses this encoding.

       iso5428:1984 (encode, decode)
	   ISO 5428:1984.

       advancegreek (encode, decode)
	   An encoding for Greek used by some vendors (Advance).

       danmarc (decode)

	   Danmarc (in danish)[2] is an encoding based on UNICODE which is used for DanMARC2 records.

EXAMPLES

       The following command converts from ISO-8859-1 (Latin-1) to UTF-8.

	       yaz-iconv -f ISO-8859-1 -t UTF-8 -X <input.lst >output.lst
