GAUCHE-CESCONV(1)
NAME
gauche-cesconv - convert text from one character encoding scheme to
another
SYNOPSIS
gauche-cesconv [-h] [-f encoding] [-t encoding] [-o outfile] [infile]
DESCRIPTION
The gauche-cesconv command is a program to convert text from one
character encoding scheme (CES) to another, using Gauche's character
conversion module. Hence the supported character sets are the same as
Gauche's. See the info document of Gauche for more details.
There are other commands that provide the same functionality and more,
such as iconv(1) or nkf(1), but they are not universally available by
default. This command is provided for Gauche's external packages to
ease the installation and configuration process; for those packages, it
is certain that gauche-cesconv is available, so they don't need to
check availability of iconv etc.
When infile is omitted, the text is read from standard input.
OPTIONS
- -f, --from-code=encoding
- Selects input encoding. Can be '*JP' to guess the character
encoding from japanese text, among either ISO2022-JP(-1,2,3),
EUCJP, SHIFT_JIS or UTF-8. If omitted, gauche's native CES is
used. - -h, --help
- Show summary of options.
- -o, --output=outfile
- Place output in file outfile. If omitted the converted text is written to standard output.
- -t, --to-code=encoding
- Selects output encoding. (see also --from-code)
DIAGNOSTICS
gauche-cesconv exits with status 0 on success.
SEE ALSO
The program will be documented fully by the Gauche Developers'
Reference available via the info(1) system.
