NAME

jv-convert - Convert file from one encoding to another

SYNOPSIS

jv-convert [OPTION] ... [INPUTFILE [OUTPUTFILE]]

DESCRIPTION

jv-convert is a utility included with "libgcj" which converts a file from one encoding to another. It is similar to the Unix iconv utility.

The encodings supported by jv-convert are platform-dependent. Currently there is no way to get a list of all supported encodings.

OPTIONS

--encoding name
--from name: Use name as the input encoding. The default is the current locale's encoding.
--to name: Use name as the output encoding. The default is the "JavaSrc" encoding; this is ASCII with \u escapes for non-ASCII characters.
-i file: Read from file. The default is to read from standard input.
-o file: Write to file. The default is to write to standard output.
--reverse: Swap the input and output encodings.
--help: Print a help message, then exit.
--version: Print version information, then exit.
