| The <b>iconv</b> program converts text from one encoding to |
| another encoding. More precisely, it converts <b>from</b> |
| the encoding given for the <b>-f</b> option <b>to</b> the |
| encoding given for the <b>-t</b> option. Either of these |
| encodings defaults to the encoding of the current locale. |
| All the <i>inputfile</i>s are read and converted in turn; if |
| no <i>inputfile</i> is given, the standard input is used. |
| The converted text is printed to standard |
| output.</td></table> |

| encodings, in a system dependent format. For the libiconv |

| separated by whitespace, and alias names of an encoding are |
| listed on the same line as the encoding itself.</td></table> |
