GAUCHE-CESCONV(1)		 Gauche Commands	       GAUCHE-CESCONV(1)

NAME
     gauche-cesconv - convert text from one character encoding scheme to another

SYNOPSIS
     gauche-cesconv [-h] [-f encoding] [-t encoding] [-o outfile] [infile]

DESCRIPTION
     The  gauche-cesconv command is a program to convert text from one character
     encoding scheme (CES) to another, using Gauche's character conversion  mod-
     ule.  Hence the supported character sets are the same as Gauche's.  See the
     info document of Gauche for more details.

     There are other commands that provide the same functionality and more, such
     as  iconv(1)  or nkf(1), but they are not universally available by default.
     This command is provided for Gauche's external packages to ease the instal-
     lation and configuration process; for those packages, it  is  certain  that
     gauche-cesconv  is  available,  so they don't need to check availability of
     iconv etc.

     When infile is omitted, the text is read from standard input.

OPTIONS
     -f, --from-code=encoding
	 Selects input encoding. Can be '*JP' to guess	the  character	encoding
	 from  japanese  text, among either ISO2022-JP(-1,2,3), EUCJP, SHIFT_JIS
	 or UTF-8.  If omitted, gauche's native CES is used.

     -h, --help
	 Show summary of options.

     -o, --output=outfile
	 Place output in file outfile. If omitted the converted text is  written
	 to standard output.

     -t, --to-code=encoding
	 Selects output encoding. (see also --from-code)

DIAGNOSTICS
     gauche-cesconv exits with status 0 on success.

SEE ALSO
     gauche-package(1), iconv(1)

     The  program  will  be documented fully by the Gauche Developers' Reference
     available via the info(1) system.
