SYNOPSIS

utrans [-v] [-b] [-t] [-e] [-p pagefile] [-i inputfile] [-o outputfile]

The utrans command converts text files created with any character encoding into UTF-8 format.

The options are as follows:

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.

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.

The following is an example of a typical usage of the utrans command:

% utrans -t -p iso8859-2.txt -i
  source -o index.html

ANSI X3.159-1989 (“ANSI C89”), number of other standards.

Exit status is 0 on success, 1 on invalid usage, 2 if a file cannot be opened, and 3 if memory allocation fails.
