MANCONV(1) Manual pager utils MANCONV(1)
manconv - convert manual page from one encoding to another
manconv -f [from-code[:from-code...]] -t to-code [-dqhV] [filename]
manconv converts a manual page from one encoding to another, like
iconv. Unlike iconv, it can try multiple possible input encodings in
sequence. This is useful for manual pages installed in directories
without an explicit encoding declaration, since they may be in UTF-8
or in a legacy character set.
If an encoding declaration is found on the first line of the manual
page, that declaration overrides any input encodings specified on
manconv's command line. Encoding declarations have the following
form:
'\" -*- coding: UTF-8 -*-
or (if manual page preprocessors are also to be declared):
'\" t -*- coding: ISO-8859-1 -*-
-f encodings, --from-code encodings
Try each of encodings (a colon-separated list) in sequence as
the input encoding. The default is to guess likely input
encodings based on the file name.
-t encoding, --to-code encoding
Convert the manual page to encoding.
-q, --quiet
Do not issue error messages when the page cannot be converted.
-d, --debug
Print debugging information.
-h, --help
Print a help message and exit.
-V, --version
Display version information.
