.TH PICONV 1 "2007-06-19" "perl v5.8.8" "Perl Programmers Reference Guide"
piconv \-\- iconv(1), reinvented in perl
\& piconv [-f from_encoding] [-t to_encoding] [-s string] [files...]
\&\fBpiconv\fR is perl version of \fBiconv\fR, a character encoding converter
widely available for various Unixen today. This script was primarily
a technology demonstrator for Perl 5.8.0, but you can use piconv in the
place of iconv for virtually any case.
piconv converts the character encoding of either \s-1STDIN\s0 or files
specified in the argument and prints out to \s-1STDOUT\s0.
Here is the list of options. Each option can be in short format (\-f)
.IP "\-f,\-\-from from_encoding" 4
.IX Item "-f,--from from_encoding"
Specifies the encoding you are converting from. Unlike \fBiconv\fR,
this option can be omitted. In such cases, the current locale is used.
.IP "\-t,\-\-to to_encoding" 4
.IX Item "-t,--to to_encoding"
Specifies the encoding you are converting to. Unlike \fBiconv\fR,
this option can be omitted. In such cases, the current locale is used.
Therefore, when both \-f and \-t are omitted, \fBpiconv\fR just acts
.IP "\-s,\-\-string \fIstring\fR" 4
.IX Item "-s,--string string"
uses \fIstring\fR instead of file for the source of text.
Lists all available encodings, one per line, in case-insensitive
order. Note that only the canonical names are listed; many aliases
exist. For example, the names are case\-insensitive, and many standard
and common aliases work, such as \*(L"latin1\*(R" for \*(L"\s-1ISO\-8859\-1\s0\*(R", or \*(L"ibm850\*(R"
instead of \*(L"cp850\*(R", or \*(L"winlatin1\*(R" for \*(L"cp1252\*(R". See Encode::Supported
.IP "\-C,\-\-check \fIN\fR" 4
Check the validity of the stream if \fIN\fR = 1. When \fIN\fR = \-1, something
interesting happens when it encounters an invalid character.
Same as \f(CW\*(C`\-C 1\*(C'\fR.
Same as \f(CW\*(C`\-C \-1\*(C'\fR.
Invokes debugging mode. Primarily for Encode hackers.
.IP "\-S,\-\-scheme scheme" 4
.IX Item "-S,--scheme scheme"
Selects which scheme is to be used for conversion. Available schemes
Uses Encode::from_to for conversion. This is the default.
Input strings are \fIdecode()\fRd then \fIencode()\fRd. A straight two-step
The new perlIO layer is used. \s-1NI\-S\s0' favorite.
Like the \fI\-D\fR option, this is also for Encode hackers.
