BOMSTRIP(1) BSD General Commands Manual BOMSTRIP(1)NAME
bomstrip, bomstrip-files -- strip the BOM sequence from UTF-8 files
SYNOPSIS
bomstrip
bomstrip-files file ...
DESCRIPTION
The bomstrip utility reads UTF-8 data from its standard input and copies it to its standard output, stripping the BOM (byte-order mark) from
the beginning of the text if it is present. There are no command-line options and no parameters.
The bomstrip-files utility removes the UTF-8 BOM from the specified files, saving each file's original contents with a .bom extension. It
uses the bomstrip utility, trying to execute it as ``bomstrip''; if the bomstrip utility is installed under another name, or if a more com-
plex command is desired, it may be supplied in the BOMSTRIP environment variable.
EXAMPLES
Strip the BOM, if present, from a text file:
bomstrip < bom.txt > nobom.txt
Strip the BOM, if present, from all text files, backing them up with a .bom extension:
bomstrip-files *.txt
Use the OCAML implementation of bomstrip:
env BOMSTRIP='ocaml bomstrip.ocaml' bomstrip-files *.txt
SEE ALSO
The bomstrip home page: http://www.xs4all.nl/~mechiel/projects/bomstrip/
HISTORY
The bomstrip utility (in many languages) was written by Mechiel Lukkien, with implementations in various languages sent to him by others,
including Andreas Gohr, Andrew Gerrand, Berteun Damman, Matthijs Bomhoff, Peter Pentchev, and Ruben Smelik. The bomstrip-files utility and
this manual page were written by Peter Pentchev in the hope that they reflect the behavior of all the bomstrip implementations in all lan-
guages.

PPI::Token::BOM(3) User Contributed Perl Documentation PPI::Token::BOM(3)NAME
PPI::Token::BOM - Tokens representing Unicode byte order marks
INHERITANCE
PPI::Token::BOM
isa PPI::Token
isa PPI::Element
DESCRIPTION
This is a special token in that it can only occur at the beginning of documents. If a BOM byte mark occurs elsewhere in a file, it should
be treated as PPI::Token::Whitespace. We recognize the byte order marks identified at this URL:
<http://www.unicode.org/faq/utf_bom.html#BOM>
UTF-32, big-endian 00 00 FE FF
UTF-32, little-endian FF FE 00 00
UTF-16, big-endian FE FF
UTF-16, little-endian FF FE
UTF-8 EF BB BF
Note that as of this writing, PPI only has support for UTF-8 (namely, in POD and strings) and no support for UTF-16 or UTF-32. We support
the BOMs of the latter two for completeness only.
The BOM is considered non-significant, like white space.
METHODS
There are no additional methods beyond those provided by the parent PPI::Token and PPI::Element classes.
SUPPORT
See the support section in the main module
