NAME
       gauche-cesconv - convert text from one character encoding scheme to another


SYNOPSIS
       gauche-cesconv [-h] [-f encoding] [-t encoding] [-o outfile] [infile]


DESCRIPTION
       The gauche-cesconv command is a program to convert text from one character encoding scheme (CES) to
       another, using Gauche's character conversion module.  Hence the supported character sets are the same as
       Gauche's.  See the info document of Gauche for more details.

       There are other commands that provide the same functionality and more, such as iconv(1) or nkf(1), but
       they are not universally available by default.  This command is provided for Gauche's external packages
       to ease the installation and configuration process; for those packages, it is certain that gauche-cesconv
       is available, so they don't need to check availability of iconv etc.

       When infile is omitted, the text is read from standard input.


OPTIONS
       -f, --from-code=encoding
           Selects input encoding. Can be ´*JP´ to guess the character encoding from japanese text, among either
           ISO2022-JP(-1,2,3), EUCJP, SHIFT_JIS or UTF-8.  If omitted, gauche´s native CES is used.

       -h, --help
           Show summary of options.

       -o, --output=outfile
           Place output in file outfile. If omitted the converted text is written to standard output.

       -t, --to-code=encoding
           Selects output encoding. (see also --from-code)


DIAGNOSTICS
       gauche-cesconv exits with status 0 on success.
