UNTITLED() LOCAL UNTITLED() NAME rux -- used for reading of files in Cyrillic encoding. SYNOPSIS rux [-egtT] [-i incp] [-o outcp] [file ...] DESCRIPTION The rux is a simple and at the same time powerful utility for texts re- coding from one encoding to another. At present time several the most popular Cyrillic code pages such as koi8-r, cp866, cp1251, iso-8859-5, mac-cyrillic and utf-8 are supported. Also rux gives the opportunity to recode box-drawing characters, which exists in some Cyrillic code pages, to replace them by their non-graphic analogues ('-', '+', etc.). Besides, the rux can detect a code page of the input files automati- cally. Usually rux is used without any options because some values are ac- cepted by default. There are -o utf-8, -e, -t, -s 10240. However you can use the following options: -e Replace box-drawing characters by their non-graphic analogues. Accepted by default. -g Inverse of -e option. (Overrides any previous -e option). -t Attempt to detect a code page of the input files. Accepted by de- fault. -T Same as -t, but don't actually recode the input files, just show their code pages. -i Specify an input code page. Use -h option to determine the sup- ported code pages list. -o Specify an output code page. Default is `koi8-r'. -q Suspress all warnings. -h Show the short help message with the accepted flags and the sup- ported code pages. The expectancy value of the presence of every Cyrillic characters in the some text were taken from the dump of Russian translation of the `FreeBSD Handbook'. EXAMPLES The following is an example of usage of the rux command: $ ls -la *-text -rw-r--r-- 1 ghos users 24 Nov 18 18:03 dos-text -rw-r--r-- 1 ghos users 24 Nov 18 18:03 windows-text $ rux -T *-text dos-text: cp866 windows-text: cp1251 For example, this alias can be set for cp1251 encoding: $ alias cp1251='rux -i cp1251' $ cat windows-text | cp1251 .. But this shell-script can be created: #!/bin/sh rux $@ | less and called as ruless :-): $ ruless cyr-text-file .. $ cat cyr-text-file | ruless ..
