SYNOPSISutrans [-v] [-b] [-t] [-e] [-p pagefile] [-i inputfile] [-o outputfile]
DESCRIPTION
The utrans command converts text files created with any character encod‐
ing into UTF-8 format.
The options are as follows:
-v Uerbose mode.
-b Pagefile is binary (default).
-t Pagefile is plain text.
-e Ignore environment variables.
-p pagefile
File with the mapping of your 8-bit encoding into Unicode.
-i inputfile
Input (default: stdin).
-o outputfile
Output (default: stdout).
ENVIRONMENT
The utrans command uses the UTRANS environment variable if no pagefile is
specified on the command line.
It uses the CHARMAPS environment variable to determine the path to the
pagefile.
The utrans command igmores the environment variables if the -e switch is
used.
FILES
The binary pagefile is simply raw data. The text pagefile follows one of
these formats:
=A2 U+0123
/xE0 U1234
to map an 8-bit character code into Unicode encoding.
EXAMPLES
The following is an example of a typical usage of the utrans command:
% utrans-t -p iso8859-2.txt -i source -o index.html
