iconv — Code Set Conversion Utility

Synopsis

/usr/bin/iconv -f fromcode -t tocode [file...] 

Description

The iconv command converts the characters or sequences of characters in file from one code set to another and writes the results to standard output. Should no conversion exist for a particular character, then it is converted to the underscore (_) in the target code set.

The list of supported conversions and the locations of the associated conversion tables are provided in the iconv(5) manual page.

The iconv command can use conversion modules (/usr/lib/iconv/*.so) or conversion tables (/usr/lib/iconv/*.t). If both a conversion module and a conversion table exist for a particular code set conversion, iconv uses the conversion module.
