NAME

       idn2 - Libidn2 Internationalized Domain Names conversion tool

SYNOPSIS

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

DESCRIPTION

       idn2  tool  converts  DNS domains from UTF-8 to ASCII compatibile 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.
