NAME

       idn2 - Libidn2 Internationalized Domain Names conversion tool

SYNOPSIS

       idn2 [OPTION]... [STRINGS]...

DESCRIPTION

       idn2 tool converts DNS domains from UTF-8 to ASCII compatible encoding (ACE) form, as used
       in  the  DNS  protocol.  The  encoding  format  is  the  Internationalized   Domain   Name
       (IDNA2008/TR46) format.

       All input strings are expected to be encoded in the locale charset.

       To  process  a  string  that  starts with -, for example -foo, use -- to signal the end of
       parameters, as in idn2 --quiet -- -foo.

       Mandatory arguments to long options are mandatory for short options too.
