NAME

       nkf - Network Kanji Filter

SYNOPSIS

       nkf [-butjnesliohrTVvwWJESZxXFfmMBOcdILg] [file ...]

DESCRIPTION

       Nkf is a yet another kanji code converter among networks, hosts and terminals.  It
       converts input kanji code to designated kanji code such as ISO-2022-JP, Shift_JIS, EUC-JP,
       UTF-8, UTF-16 or UTF-32.

       One of the most unique faculty of nkf is the guess of the input kanji encodings.  It
       currently recognizes ISO-2022-JP, Shift_JIS, EUC-JP, UTF-8, UTF-16 and UTF-32.  So users
       needn't set the input kanji code explicitly.

       By default, X0201 kana is converted into X0208 kana.  For X0201 kana, SO/SI, SSO and
       ESC-(-I methods are supported.  For automatic code detection, nkf assumes no X0201 kana in
       Shift_JIS.  To accept X0201 in Shift_JIS, use -X, -x or -S.

       multiple options are specified as seprate strings, such as

         print nkf('--ic=UTF8-MAC', '-w', $string), "\n";

       except the last arguments.

OPTIONS

       -J -S -E -W -W16 -W32 -j -s -e -w -w16 -w32
           Specify input and output encodings. Upper case is input.  cf. --ic and --oc.

           -J  ISO-2022-JP (JIS code).

           -S  Shift_JIS and JIS X 0201 kana.  EUC-JP is recognized as X0201 kana. Without -x
               flag, JIS X 0201 Katakana (a.k.a.halfwidth kana) is converted into JIS X 0208.  If
               you use Windows, see Windows-31J (CP932).

           -E  EUC-JP.

           -W  UTF-8N.

           -W16[BL][0]
               UTF-16.  B or L gives whether Big Endian or Little Endian.  0 gives whther put BOM
               or not.

           -W32[BL][0]
               UTF-32.  B or L gives whether Big Endian or Little Endian.  0 gives whther put BOM
               or not.

       -b -u
           Output is buffered (DEFAULT), Output is unbuffered.

       -t  No conversion.

       -i[@B]
           Specify the escape sequence for JIS X 0208.

           -i@ Use ESC ( @. (JIS X 0208-1978)

           -iB Use ESC ( B. (JIS X 0208-1983/1990 DEFAULT)

       -o[BJ]
           Specify the escape sequence for US-ASCII/JIS X 0201 Roman. (DEFAULT B)

       -r  {de/en}crypt ROT13/47

       -h[123] --hiragana --katakana --katakana-hiragana
           -h1 --hiragana
               Katakana to Hiragana conversion.

           -h2 --katakana
               Hiragana to Katakana conversion.

           -h3 --katakana-hiragana
               Katakana to Hiragana and Hiragana to Katakana conversion.

       -T  Text mode output (MS-DOS)

       -f[m [- n]]
           Folding on m length with n margin in a line.  Without this option, fold length is 60
           and fold margin is 10.

       -F  New line preserving line folding.

       -Z[0-3]
           Convert X0208 alphabet (Fullwidth Alphabets) to ASCII.

           -Z -Z0
               Convert X0208 alphabet to ASCII.

           -Z1 Convert X0208 kankaku to single ASCII space.

           -Z2 Convert X0208 kankaku to double ASCII spaces.

           -Z3 Replacing fullwidth >, <, ", & into '&gt;', '&lt;', '&quot;', '&amp;' as in HTML.

       -X -x
           With -X or without this option, X0201 is converted into X0208 Kana.  With -x, try to
           preserve X0208 kana and do not convert X0201 kana to X0208.  In JIS output, ESC-(-I is
           used. In EUC output, SS2 is used.

       -B[0-2]
           Assume broken JIS-Kanji input, which lost ESC.  Useful when your site is using old
           B-News Nihongo patch.

           -B1 allows any chars after ESC-( or ESC-$.

           -B2 force ASCII after NL.

       -I  Replacing non iso-2022-jp char into a geta character (substitute character in
           Japanese).

       -m[BQN0]
           MIME ISO-2022-JP/ISO8859-1 decode. (DEFAULT) To see ISO8859-1 (Latin-1) -l is
           necessary.

           -mB Decode MIME base64 encoded stream. Remove header or other part before conversion.

           -mQ Decode MIME quoted stream. '_' in quoted stream is converted to space.

           -mN Non-strict decoding.  It allows line break in the middle of the base64 encoding.

           -m0 No MIME decode.

       -M  MIME encode. Header style. All ASCII code and control characters are intact.

           -MB MIME encode Base64 stream.  Kanji conversion is performed before encoding, so this
               cannot be used as a picture encoder.

           -MQ Perform quoted encoding.

       -l  Input and output code is ISO8859-1 (Latin-1) and ISO-2022-JP.  -s, -e and -x are not
           compatible with this option.

       -L[uwm] -d -c
           Convert line breaks.

           -Lu -d
               unix (LF)

           -Lw -c
               windows (CRLF)

           -Lm mac (CR)

               Without this option, nkf doesn't convert line breaks.

       --fj --unix --mac --msdos --windows
           Convert for these systems.

       --jis --euc --sjis --mime --base64
           Convert to named code.

       --ic=input codeset --oc=output codeset
           Set the input or output codeset.  NKF supports following codesets and those codeset
           names are case insensitive.

       --fb-{skip, html, xml, perl, java, subchar}
           Specify the way that nkf handles unassigned characters.  Without this option,
           --fb-skip is assumed.

       --prefix=escape charactertarget character..
           When nkf converts to Shift_JIS, nkf adds a specified escape character to specified 2nd
           byte of Shift_JIS characters.  1st byte of argument is the escape character and
           following bytes are target characters.

       --no-cp932ext
           Handle the characters extended in CP932 as unassigned characters.

       --no-best-fit-chars
           When Unicode to Encoded byte conversion, don't convert characters which is not round
           trip safe.  When Unicode to Unicode conversion, with this and -x option, nkf can be
           used as UTF converter.  (In other words, without this and -x option, nkf doesn't save
           some characters)

           When nkf converts strings that related to path, you should use this option.

       --cap-input
           Decode hex encoded characters.

       --url-input
           Unescape percent escaped characters.

           Overwrite original listed files by filtered result.

           Note --overwrite preserves timestamps of original files.

       --guess=[12]
           Print guessed encoding and newline. (2 is default, 1 is only encoding)

       --help
           Print nkf's help.

       --version
           Print nkf's version.
