.Sh DESCRIPTION The .Nm utility converts the codeset of .Ar file (or from standard input if no file is specified) from codeset .Ar from_name to codeset .Ar to_name and outputs the converted text on standard output.
p
The following options are available:
l -tag -width 0123 t Fl c Prevent output of any invalid characters.
By default,
.Nm
outputs an
.Dq invalid character
specified by the
.Ar to_name
codeset when it encounters a character which is valid in the
.Ar from_name
codeset but does not have a corresponding character in the
.Ar to_name
codeset.
t Fl f Specifies the source codeset name as
.Ar from_name .
t Fl l Lists available codeset names.
Note that not all combinations of
.Ar from_name
and
.Ar to_name
are valid.
t Fl s Silent.
By default,
.Nm
outputs the number of
.Dq invalid characters
to standard error if they exist.
This option prevents this behaviour.
t Fl t Specifies the destination codeset name as
.Ar to_name .
