   mbconv - Character encoding scheme converter
     ____________________________________________________________________________

                                         SYNOPSIS

  mbconv [options]  ...
     ____________________________________________________________________________

                                       DESCRIPTION

   This is an application of a library to handle multiple octets character encoding:

  [10]http://pub.ks-and-ks.ne.jp/prog/libmoe/

   mainly written for debugging of the library.

   It reads octet by octet from files given on command line (or standard input if no
   file is specified), converts character encoding scheme (CES) as specified by
   command line options (described below), and output to standard output (or a file
   specified by -t option or -a option).
     ____________________________________________________________________________

Options

   -?, -h, --help
          display summary of options and exits.

   -a file, --append-to=file
          output is appended to file.

   -c converters, --convert-to=converters
          specifies character encoding conversion. converters must be comma
          separated list of words described in [11]Conversion specifiers.

   -f flags, --flag=flags
          specifies flags to change behavior of conversion. flags must be comma
          separated list of words describe in [12]Flag specifiers.

   -i, --input
          succeeding options apply to input stream.

   -m string, --mime-charset=string
          mime encoding conforming to RFC2047 is performed.  is used as
          charset name.

   -n, --line-number
          line number (>= 1) is inserted to beginning of each line.

   -o, --output
          succeeding options apply to output stream.

   -t file, --to=file
          output to file (truncated).

   -w, --width
          output width of each line.

   -cs , --charset=string
          specifies charset name. Some language specifications are also accepted as
          well as MIME charset names, which are used to restrict candidates of
          encoding scheme of input stream. Acceptable languages are listed in
          [13]Acceptable languages.

   --format=string
          specifies output format

   --which
          output charset name of each input stream to stderr, in the form

          file name: charset name

          if two or more files are specifed on the command line, or

          charset name

          otherwise.

   --regex=regular expression
          specifies regeular expression to filter output. Character encoding of
          regular expression can be specified by putting string of the form

          *charset name*

          at the beginning of the regular expression, otherwise UTF-8. Character
          encoding of the expression is converted to that of output stream before
          matching.
     ____________________________________________________________________________

Conversion specifiers

   Conversion is applied just before each character is output to stream. Conversion
   setup is automatically performed based on CES. So in most cases, yo need not to
   specify converters explicitly.

   ascii
          domestic ASCII converted to US-ASCII,

   ces
          converted appropriately according to the CES bound to input/output stream,

   to-ucs
          converted to Unicode,

   f2h, full-to-half
          Fullwidth compatibility characters are converted to corresponding
          halfwidth ones,

   h2f, half-to-full
          Halfwidth compatibility characters are converted to corresponding
          fullwidth ones,

   jisx0213
          Codepoints in JIS C 6226 or in JIS X 0208 which are bound to no character
          are converted into JIS X 0213 plane 1,

   jisx0213-aggressive
          All codepoints in JIS C 6226 or in JIS X 0208 are converted into JIS X
          0213 plane 1,

   ms-latin1
          Unicode characters of code point between 0x80 and 0x9F (both inclusive)
          are converted to other Unicode characters as if they are characters of
          those code point in Microsoft Windows Codepage 1252.

   ucs-to-jis0208-extra, jis0208-to-ucs-extra
          Converters between some JIS X 0208 and Unicode characters having similar
          glyphs (by the courtesy of Ambrose Li ).
     ____________________________________________________________________________

Flag specifiers

   use-0x28-for-94x94inG0, 28
          use ``1/11 2/4 2/8 F'' instead of ``1/11 2/4 F'' to designate charsets
          with final octet 4/0, 4/1, or 4/2 to G0,

   ac, ascii-at-control
          escape sequence ``1/11 2/8 4/2'' is output before every control character,

   nossl, ignore-7bit-single-shift
          escape sequence for 7 bit single shift is ignored,

   dnc, discard-notprefered-char
          discard characters which CES bound to output stream can not decode.
     ____________________________________________________________________________

Acceptable languages

   The following words may be given instead of MIME charset name for input stream.
   In that case, encoding scheme is automatically detected (hopefully) among
   succeeding ones.

   c, cn, china, chinese
          x-gb-18030-2000, cn-big5, utf-8, or x-euc-tw.

   j, ja, jp, japan, japanese
          euc-jp, shift_jis, or utf-8.

   k, ko, kr, korea, korean
          euc-kr, x-johab, utf-8, or x-unified-hangul.

   cjk
          iso-8859-1, x-gb-18030-2000, cn-big5, x-euc-tw, euc-jp, shift_jis, euc-kr,
          x-johab, x-unified-hangul, or utf-8.
