SFCONV(1)		     General Commands Manual		       SFCONV(1)

NAME
     sfconv - A tool for converting the encoding of Standard Format (SF) files

SYNOPSIS
   8-bit to Unicode:
     sfconv -8u [-utf8|-be|-le] [-bom] -c ControlFile [-d MappingDirectory] -i
     InFile -o OutFile

   Unicode to 8-bit:
     sfconv -u8 [-utf8|-be|-le] -c ControlFile [-d MappingDirectory] -i InFile
     -o OutFile

DESCRIPTION
     A tool for converting Standard Format (SF) files is included in the current
     TECkit  package.	This  is  sfconv  , a command-line tool that uses an XML
     acontrol filea to specify the mappings associated with the various  markers
     in  an  SF  file.	Note that the current SFconv tool should be considered a
     prototype rather than a full solution to the issue  of  SF  conversions.  A
     more complete tool with an improved user interface would be desirable.

OPTIONS
     The  SFconv utility uses command-line options to specify the conversion di-
     rection, control file, and input and output files. The  required  arguments
     are:

     -8u|-u8
	    conversion direction: 8-bit to Unicode or vice versa

     -ccontrolFile
	    specifies XML control file

     -iinFile
	    specifies filename of input SF file

     -ooutFile
	    specifies filename for converted output

	    In	addition, the following optional arguments may be used if appro-
	    priate:

     -dmappingDir
	    directory where mapping files ( .tec files) are to be found

     -utf8|-be|-le
	    Unicode encoding form: UTF-8, UTF-16BE, or UTF16-LE (default is UTF8
	    for output, or detected from input file if BOM is present)

     -bom   (only when mapping to Unicode) write initial BOM to the output file

     -nfc|-nfd
	    (only when mapping to Unicode) normalize to NFC or NFD

Further Information
     For further information see the document  TECkit_Tools.pdf.   On  a  Debian
     system, this can be found in /usr/share/doc/teckit.
