NAME

     mkcsmapper -- generates hashed conversion data for iconv(3)

SYNOPSIS

     mkcsmapper [-mpd] -o outfile infile

DESCRIPTION

     The mkcsmapper utility generates binary conversion data from plain text conversion tables for the iconv(3) library.  The conversion data has
     two components: The conversion mapping between specific character encodings.  A pivot file, which the possible source and destination encod-
     ing pairs or the set of mappings to use for a compound encoding.

     The following options are available:

     -d    Turns on debug mode.

     -m    Generate mapping data from infile.

     -o outfile
	   Put generated binary data to outfile.

     -p    Generate pivot data from outfile.

EXIT STATUS

     The mkcsmapper utility exits 0 on success, and >0 if an error occurs.

NAME

     iconv -- codeset conversion utility

SYNOPSIS

     iconv [-cs] -f from_name -t to_name [file ...]
     iconv -f from_name [-cs] [-t to_name] [file ...]
     iconv -t to_name [-cs] [-f from_name] [file ...]
     iconv -l

DESCRIPTION

     The iconv utility converts the codeset of file (or from standard input if no file is specified) from codeset from_name to codeset to_name and
     outputs the converted text on standard output.

     The following options are available:

     -c    Prevent output of any invalid characters.  By default, iconv outputs an ``invalid character'' specified by the to_name codeset when it
	   encounts a character which is valid in the from_name codeset but does not have a corresponding character in the to_name codeset.

     -f    Specifies the source codeset name as from_name.

     -l    Lists available codeset names.  Note that not all combinations of from_name and to_name are valid.

     -s    Silent.  By default, iconv outputs the number of ``invalid characters'' to standard error if they exist.  This option prevents this be-
	   haviour.

     -t    Specifies the destination codeset name as to_name.

EXIT STATUS

     The iconv utility exits 0 on success, and >0 if an error occurs.
