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>

The encodings permitted are system dependent. For the
libiconv implementation, they are listed in the
iconv_open(3) manual page.</td></table>
