TCS(1) TCS(1)
NAME
tcs - translate character sets
SYNOPSIS
tcs -l [-v] [ csname ]
tcs [ -f ics ] [ -t ocs ] [ file ... ]
DESCRIPTION
Tcs converts its input from the ics character set encoding
into Unicode runes and then outputs the data in the encoding
of the ocs character set. The default values of ics and ocs
are both utf8. This is the standard Inferno Unicode text
encoding as described by utf(6). If no files are specified
tcs reads from its standard input.
The -l option causes tcs to output the list of character
sets that it understands. The -v option causes a more
detailed listing to be given. Giving a csname argument to
the -l option causes tcs to list the known aliases for that
name. The first name in the list is the standard (or pre-
ferred) name.
FILES
/lib/convcs/charsets Specifies the supported character set
names, their aliases and the implemen-
tation of their converters.
