.SH DESCRIPTION
A command line interface for the fribidi library,
Converts a logical string to visual.
.TP
\fB\-h\fR, \fB\-\-help\fR
Display this information and exit
.TP
\fB\-V\fR, \fB\-\-version\fR
Display version information and exit
.TP
\fB\-v\fR, \fB\-\-verbose\fR
Verbose mode, same as \fB\-\-basedir\fR \fB\-\-ltov\fR \fB\-\-vtol\fR \e
\fB\-\-levels\fR \fB\-\-changes\fR
.TP
\fB\-d\fR, \fB\-\-debug\fR
Output debug information
.TP
\fB\-t\fR, \fB\-\-test\fR
Test fribidi, same as \fB\-\-clean\fR \fB\-\-nobreak\fR \fB\-\-showinput\fR \e
\fB\-\-reordernsm\fR
.TP
\fB\-c\fR, \fB\-\-charset\fR CS
Specify character set, default is UTF-8
.TP
\fB\-C\fR, \fB\-\-charsetdesc\fR CS
Show descriptions for character set CS and exit
.TP
\fB\-\-caprtl\fR
Old style: set character set to CapRTL
.TP
\fB\-\-showinput\fR
Output the input string too
.TP
\fB\-\-nopad\fR
Do not right justify RTL lines
.TP
\fB\-\-nobreak\fR

.TP
\fB\-w\fR, \fB\-\-width\fR W
Screen width for padding, default is 80, but if \e
environment variable COLUMNS is defined, its value \e

.TP
\fB\-\-wrtl\fR

.TP
\fB\-\-wltr\fR
Set base direction to LTR if no strong character found \e
(default)
.TP
\fB\-\-nomirror\fR
Turn mirroring off, to do it later
.TP
\fB\-\-reordernsm\fR
Reorder NSM sequences to follow their base character
.TP
\fB\-\-clean\fR
Remove explicit format codes in visual string \e
output, currently does not affect other outputs

Output information about changes between \e
logical and visual string (start, length)
.TP
\fB\-\-novisual\fR
Do not output the visual string, to be used with \e
\fB\-\-basedir\fR, \fB\-\-ltov\fR, \fB\-\-vtol\fR, \fB\-\-levels\fR, \fB\-\-changes\fR
.IP
All string indexes are zero based
