PROGRAM:

NAME


iconv - convert text from one character encoding to another

SYNOPSIS


iconv [options] [-f from-encoding] [-t to-encoding] [inputfile]...

DESCRIPTION


The iconv program reads in text in one encoding and outputs the text in another encoding.
If no input files are given, or if it is given as a dash (-), iconv reads from standard
input. If no output file is given, iconv writes to standard output.

If no from-encoding is given, the default is derived from the current locale's character
encoding. If no to-encoding is given, the default is derived from the current locale's
character encoding.

OPTIONS


-f from-encoding, --from-code=from-encoding
Use from-encoding for input characters.

-t to-encoding, --to-code=to-encoding
Use to-encoding for output characters.

If the string //IGNORE is appended to to-encoding, characters that cannot be
converted are discarded and an error is printed after conversion.

If the string //TRANSLIT is appended to to-encoding, characters being converted are
transliterated when needed and possible. This means that when a character cannot
be represented in the target character set, it can be approximated through one or
several similar looking characters. Characters that are outside of the target
character set and cannot be transliterated are replaced with a question mark (?) in
the output.

-l, --list
List all known character set encodings.

-c Silently discard characters that cannot be converted instead of terminating when
encountering such characters.

-o outputfile, --output=outputfile
Use outputfile for output.

-s, --silent
This option is ignored; it is provided only for compatibility.

--verbose
Print progress information on standard error when processing multiple files.

-?, --help
Print a usage summary and exit.

--usage
Print a short usage summary and exit.

-V, --version
Print the version number, license, and disclaimer of warranty for iconv.

EXIT STATUS


Zero on success, non-zero on errors.

ENVIRONMENT


Internally, the iconv program uses the iconv(3) function which in turn uses gconv modules
(dynamically loaded shared libraries) to convert to and from a character set. Before
calling iconv(3), the iconv program must first allocate a conversion descriptor using
iconv_open(3). The operation of the latter function is influenced by the setting of the
GCONV_PATH environment variable:

* If GCONV_PATH is not set, iconv_open(3) loads the system gconv module configuration
cache file created by iconvconfig(8) and then, based on the configuration, loads the
gconv modules needed to perform the conversion. If the system gconv module
configuration cache file is not available then the system gconv module configuration
file is used.

* If GCONV_PATH is defined (as a colon-separated list of pathnames), the system gconv
module configuration cache is not used. Instead, iconv_open(3) first tries to load the
configuration files by searching the directories in GCONV_PATH in order, followed by
the system default gconv module configuration file. If a directory does not contain a
gconv module configuration file, any gconv modules that it may contain are ignored. If
a directory contains a gconv module configuration file and it is determined that a
module needed for this conversion is available in the directory, then the needed module
is loaded from that directory, the order being such that the first suitable module
found in GCONV_PATH is used. This allows users to use custom modules and even replace
system-provided modules by providing such modules in GCONV_PATH directories.
