NAME
       iconv - charset conversion utility

SYNOPSIS
       iconv -f from_charset -t to_charset [ -s inputstring | file...  ]

DESCRIPTION
       The iconv utility converts the characters or sequences of characters in
       file(s) (or inputstring if specified  with  the	-s  option)  from  one
       charset to another and writes the results to standard output. Should no
       conversion exist for a particular character then it is converted to the
       underscore '_' in the target charset.

       The  list  of supported conversions and the locations of the associated
       conversion tables are provided in the iconv(3) manual page.

OPTIONS
       The following options are supported:

       -f from_charset
		      Identifies the input charset.

       -t to_charset  Identifies the output charset.

       -s inputstring Identifies the character sequence, which is to  be  con‐
		      verted instead of input files.

OPERANDS
       The following operands are supported:

       file(s)	      A	 list  of the input files to be translated.  '-' means
		      the standard input.  If file is  omitted,	 the  standard
		      input is used.

EXAMPLES
       The  following example converts the contents of file mail1 from charset
       iso-8859-5 to utf-8 and stores the results in file mail.local.

	      example% iconv -f iso-8859-5 -t utf-8 mail1 > mail.local

ENVIRONMENT
       See iconv(3) for the description of the ICONV_PATH environment variable
       that affects the behaviour of iconv.

       0	 Successful completion.
