NAME

       iconv - Convert encoding of given files from one encoding to another

SYNOPSIS

       iconv -f encoding -t encoding inputfile

       standard output unless otherwise specified by the --output option.

       --from-code, -f encoding

       Convert characters from encoding

       --to-code, -t encoding

       Convert characters to encoding

       --list

       List known coded character sets

       --output, -o file

       Specify output file (instead of stdout)

       --verbose

NAME

       iconv - character set conversion

SYNOPSIS

       iconv [-c] [-s] [-f encoding] [-t encoding] [inputfile ...]
       iconv -l

DESCRIPTION

       The  iconv  program  converts  text  from one encoding to another encoding.  More precisely, it converts from the encoding given for the -f
       option to the encoding given for the -t option. Either of these encodings defaults to the encoding of the current locale.  All  the  input-
       files  are read and converted in turn; if no inputfile is given, the standard input is used. The converted text is printed to standard out-
       put.

       When option -c is given, characters that cannot be converted are silently discarded, instead of leading to a conversion error.

       When option -s is given, error messages about invalid or unconvertible characters are omitted, but the actual converted text is unaffected.

       The encodings permitted are system dependent. For the libiconv implementation, they are listed in the iconv_open(3) manual page.

       The iconv -l command lists the names of the supported encodings, in a system dependent format. For the libiconv implementation,	the  names
       are printed in upper case, separated by whitespace, and alias names of an encoding are listed on the same line as the encoding itself.
