NAME
     sutf - convert encoding of text files

SYNOPSIS
     sutf [OPTIONS...] [INPUTFILES...]

DESCRIPTION
     sutf converts the encoding of text files from one encoding to another using
     the high-performance simdutf library for supported formats. For unsupported
     formats, it falls back to iconv if available.

OPTIONS
     -f, --from-code=ENCODING
	    Encoding of source text (mandatory).

     -t, --to-code=ENCODING
	    Encoding of output (mandatory).

     -o, --output=FILE
	    Output file. If not specified, output goes to standard output.

     -h, --help
	    Display help text and exit.

     -u, --usage
	    Display short usage message and exit.

     -l, --list
	    Display supported formats and exit.

SUPPORTED FORMATS
     Formats supported by simdutf library: UTF-8, UTF-16LE, UTF-16BE, UTF-32LE

     If  iconv	is  available,	additional  formats  supported by iconv are also
     available.

EXAMPLES
     Convert UTF-16LE file to UTF-8:
	    sutf -f UTF-16LE -t UTF-8 input.txt

     Convert multiple files and save to output file:
	    sutf -f UTF-8 -t UTF-16BE -o output.txt file1.txt file2.txt

     List supported formats:
