NAME

       sfparse - string file parse

SYNOPSIS

       sfparse [ --utf8 | --unicode ] filename

DESCRIPTION

       This  tool has two different functions.  When invoked with just a filename as argument, it
       checks that a file is a valid strings-file, which basically amounts to seeing whether  the
       file is in proper serialized NSDictionary format (type "defaults plist" for info on this).

       On  the other hand, if one of the two options is given, no such checking is performed, but
       the file IS converted into the named encoding.

OPTIONS

       --unicode    - convert an ASCII or UTF8 file to Unicode

       --utf8       - convert an ASCII or Unicode to UTF8
