| .SH NAME |
| iconv \- character set conversion |
| .SH SYNOPSIS |
| iconv \fB-f\fP \fIencoding\fP \fB-t\fP \fIencoding\fP [\fIinputfile\fP ...] |
| .SH DESCRIPTION |
| The \fBiconv\fP program converts text from one encoding to another encoding. |
| More precisely, it converts \fBfrom\fP the encoding given for the \fB-f\fP |
| option \fBto\fP the encoding given for the \fB-t\fP option. All the |
| \fIinputfile\fPs are read and converted in turn; if no \fIinputfile\fP is |
| given, the standard input is used. The converted text is printed to standard |
| output. |
| .PP |
| The encodings permitted are system dependent. For the libiconv implementation, |
| they are listed in the iconv_open(3) manual page. |
