idnalias.conf(5)	       File Formats Manual		idnalias.conf(5)

NAME
     idnalias.conf - encoding alias file for idnkit

SYNOPSIS
     /usr/local/etc/idnalias.conf

DESCRIPTION
     The idnalias.conf file defines aliases of encoding names.	It is located on
     /usr/local/etc/idnalias.conf  and	always loaded automatically as idn2.conf
     and .idn2rc.

     When the idnkit library encodes  or  decodes  an  internationalized  domain
     name, it converts the domain name between a local encoding (e.g. ISO8859-1)
     and Unicode using iconv().  At run time, the idnkit library guesses the lo-
     cal encoding from locale information to do the conversions, but iconv() may
     not  know	the  encoding  name  taken from locale information.  Using idna-
     lias.conf, you can avoid the trouble.

     The aliases in this file can be used just as the  real  names.   The  alias
     file  is a simple text file, consisting of lines (other than comment lines,
     which begin with ``#'', and empty lines) of the form:

	 alias-name real-name

     where alias-name is an alias name to be defined, and real-name is its  real
     name  or  another	alias name.  ``*'' in alias-name has special meaning. It
     matches any string, including an empty string.
