manconv

MANCONV(1)							Manual pager utils							MANCONV(1)

NAME

       manconv - convert manual page from one encoding to another

SYNOPSIS

       manconv -f from-code[:from-code...]  -t to-code [-dq] [filename]

DESCRIPTION

       manconv	converts  a  manual  page from one encoding to another, like iconv.  Unlike iconv, it can try multiple possible input encodings in
       sequence.  This is useful for manual pages installed in directories without an explicit encoding declaration, since they may be in UTF-8 or
       in a legacy character set.

       If  an encoding declaration is found on the first line of the manual page, that declaration overrides any input encodings specified on man-
       conv's command line.  Encoding declarations have the following form:

	      '" -*- coding: UTF-8 -*-

       or (if manual page preprocessors are also to be declared):

	      '" t -*- coding: ISO-8859-1 -*-

OPTIONS

       -f encodings, --from-code encodings
	      Try each of encodings (a colon-separated list) in sequence as the input encoding.

       -t encoding, --to-code encoding
	      Convert the manual page to encoding.

       -q, --quiet
	      Do not issue error messages when the page cannot be converted.

       -d, --debug
	      Print debugging information.

       -h, --help
	      Print a help message and exit.

       -V, --version
	      Display version information.
