NAME

       sfparse - string file parse

SYNOPSIS

       sfparse [ --utf8 | --unicode ] filename

DESCRIPTION

       This  tool  has  two  different  functions.   When  invoked with just a
       filename as argument, it checks that a file is  a  valid  strings-file,
       which  basically  amounts  to  seeing  whether  the  file  is in proper
       serialized NSDictionary format  (type  "defaults  plist"  for  info  on
       this).

       On the other hand, if one of the two options is given, no such checking
       is performed, but the file IS converted into the named encoding.

OPTIONS

       --unicode    - convert an ASCII or UTF8 file to Unicode

       --utf8       - convert an ASCII or Unicode to UTF8
