| |
| <table border=0 cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0><tr height=2><td><tr><td width=20><td> |
| |
| <i>Tcs</i> interprets the named <i>file(s)</i> (standard input default) as a |
| stream of characters from the <i>ics</i> character set or format, converts |
| them to runes, and then converts them into a stream of characters |
| from the <i>ocs</i> character set or format on the standard output. The |
| default value for <i>ics</i> and <i>ocs</i> is <tt><font size=+1>utf</font></tt>, the UTF encoding |
| described in <a href="../man7/utf.html"><i>utf</i>(7)</a>. The <tt><font size=+1>−l</font></tt> option lists the character sets known |
| to <i>tcs</i>. Processing continues in the face of conversion errors |
| (the <tt><font size=+1>−s</font></tt> option prevents reporting of these errors). The <tt><font size=+1>−c</font></tt> option |
| forces the output to contain only correctly converted characters; |
| otherwise, <tt><font size=+1>0x80</font></tt> characters will be substituted for UTF |
| encoding errors and <tt><font size=+1>0xFFFD</font></tt> characters will substituted for unknown |
| characters. |
| <table border=0 cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0><tr height=5><td></table> |
| |
| The <tt><font size=+1>−v</font></tt> option generates various diagnostic and summary information |
| on standard error, or makes the <tt><font size=+1>−l</font></tt> output more verbose. |
| <table border=0 cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0><tr height=5><td></table> |
| |
| <i>Tcs</i> 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<br> |

| <tt><font size=+1>utf1</font></tt> The deprecated original UTF encoding from ISO 10646<br> |
| <tt><font size=+1>ascii</font></tt> 7-bit ASCII<br> |
