NAME
| |
tcs – translate character sets
|
SYNOPSIS
| |
tcs [ −slcv ] [ −f ics ] [ −t ocs ] [ file ... ]
|
DESCRIPTION
| |
Tcs interprets the named file(s) (standard input default) as a
stream of characters from the ics character set or format, converts
them to runes, and then converts them into a stream of characters
from the ocs character set or format on the standard output. The
default value for ics and ocs is utf, the UTF encoding described
in utf(7). The −l option lists
the character sets known to tcs. Processing continues in the face
of conversion errors (the −s option prevents reporting of these
errors). The −c option forces the output to contain only correctly
converted characters; otherwise, 0x80 characters will be substituted
for UTF encoding errors and 0xFFFD characters will substituted
for unknown characters.
The −v option generates various diagnostic and summary information
on standard error, or makes the −l output more verbose.
Tcs recognizes an ever changing list of character sets. In particular,
it supports a variety of Russian and Japanese encodings. Some
of the supported encodings are
