sfparse - string file parse
SYNOPSIS
sfparse [ --utf8 | --unicode ] filename
DESCRIPTION
This tool has two different functions. When invoked with just a filename as argument, it checks that a file is a valid strings-file, which
basically amounts to seeing whether the file is in proper serialized NSDictionary format (type "defaults plist" for info on this).
On the other hand, if one of the two options is given, no such checking is performed, but the file IS converted into the named encoding.
OPTIONS --unicode - convert an ASCII or UTF8 file to Unicode
--utf8 - convert an ASCII or Unicode to UTF8

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 (UTF16), 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. If the filename is a hyphen then this
tool reads from standard input.
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 uni-
code (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.
-Unicode IN|OUT
Specify '-Unicode IN' (or '-Unicode OUT') to control the direction of conversion rather than having the tool guess it on the basis of
the content it reads. Using '-Unicode IN' means that the tool reads UTF16 data and writes C-String data, while using '-Unicode OUT'
merans that the tool reads C-String data and writes UTF16 data.
