NAME

       jv-convert - Convert file from one encoding to another

SYNOPSIS

       jv-convert [OPTION] ... [INPUTFILE [OUTPUTFILE]]

DESCRIPTION

       jv-convert is a utility included with "libgcj" which converts a file from one encoding to another.  It is similar to the Unix iconv util-
       ity.

       The encodings supported by jv-convert are platform-dependent.  Currently there is no way to get a list of all supported encodings.

OPTIONS

       --encoding name
       --from name
	   Use name as the input encoding.  The default is the current locale's encoding.

       --to name
	   Use name as the output encoding.  The default is the "JavaSrc" encoding; this is ASCII with u escapes for non-ASCII characters.

       -i file
	   Read from file.  The default is to read from standard input.

       -o file
	   Write to file.  The default is to write to standard output.

       --reverse
	   Swap the input and output encodings.

       --help
	   Print a help message, then exit.

       --version
	   Print version information, then exit.
