NAME
map - An utility to map texts from and to unicode
SYNOPSIS
map - recode from and to various character sets.
Reads from STDIN, writes to STDOUT.
usage: map [--from cset] [--to cset] < input.txt > output.txt
from s Encoding of input files (default "ISO-8859-1")
list Lists available character sets and their alias
names.
to s Encoding of output files (default "ISO-8859-1")
DESCRIPTION
Maps text from one character set representation to
another. This work is actually long time very well done by
"recode", but unfortunately recode does not support Uni
code and eastern asia character sets. But, if you have
pure 8 bit things to do, recode will still be the best
solution.
Examples:
- Conversion from ISO-8859-1 to Unicode:
- map --to unicode < iso-8859-1.txt > unicode.txt
- Conversion from GB2312 to CP936:
map --from cp936 --to GB2312 < gb2312.txt > cp936.txt- Conversion from CP850 to Unicode:
map --from cp850 --to unicode < cp850.txt > unicode.txt
