NAME¶
gauche-cesconv - convert text from one character encoding scheme to anotherSYNOPSIS¶
gauche-cesconv [-h]
[-f encoding] [ -t encoding]
[-o outfile] [infile]
DESCRIPTION¶
The gauche-cesconv command is a program to convert text from one character encoding scheme (CES) to another, using Gauche's character conversion module. Hence the supported character sets are the same as Gauche's. See the info document of Gauche for more details. There are other commands that provide the same functionality and more, such as iconv(1) or nkf(1), but they are not universally available by default. This command is provided for Gauche's external packages to ease the installation and configuration process; for those packages, it is certain that gauche-cesconv is available, so they don't need to check availability of iconv etc. When infile is omitted, the text is read from standard input.OPTIONS¶
-f, --from-code=encodingSelects input encoding. Can be ´*JP´ to
guess the character encoding from japanese text, among either
ISO2022-JP(-1,2,3), EUCJP, SHIFT_JIS or UTF-8. If omitted, gauche´s
native CES is used.
-h, --help
Show summary of options.
-o, --output=outfile
Place output in file outfile. If omitted the
converted text is written to standard output.
-t, --to-code=encoding
Selects output encoding. (see also
--from-code)
