NAME¶
manconv - convert manual page from one encoding to another
SYNOPSIS¶
manconv -f from-code[:
from-code...]
-t
to-code [
-dqhV] [
filename]
DESCRIPTION¶
manconv converts a manual page from one encoding to another, like
iconv. Unlike
iconv, it can try multiple possible input
encodings in sequence. This is useful for manual pages installed in
directories without an explicit encoding declaration, since they may be in
UTF-8 or in a legacy character set.
If an encoding declaration is found on the first line of the manual page, that
declaration overrides any input encodings specified on
manconv's
command line. Encoding declarations have the following form:
'\" -*- coding: UTF-8 -*-
or (if manual page preprocessors are also to be declared):
'\" t -*- coding: ISO-8859-1 -*-
OPTIONS¶

input encoding.
