NAME

       jv-convert - Convert file from one encoding to another

SYNOPSIS

       jv-convert [OPTION] ... [INPUTFILE [OUTPUTFILE]]

DESCRIPTION

       jv-convert is a utility included with "libgcj" which converts a file
       from one encoding to another.  It is similar to the Unix iconv utility.

       The encodings supported by jv-convert are platform-dependent.
       Currently there is no way to get a list of all supported encodings.

OPTIONS

       --encoding name
       --from name
           Use name as the input encoding.  The default is the current
           locale's encoding.

       --to name
           Use name as the output encoding.  The default is the "JavaSrc"
           encoding; this is ASCII with \u escapes for non-ASCII characters.

       -i file
           Read from file.  The default is to read from standard input.

       -o file
           Write to file.  The default is to write to standard output.

       --reverse
           Swap the input and output encodings.

       --help
           Print a help message, then exit.

       --version
           Print version information, then exit.
