NAME
inline-detox — clean up filenames (stream-based)
SYNOPSIS
inline-detox [-hnLrv] [-s -sequence] [-f -configfile] file ...
DESCRIPTION
The inline-detox utility can remove spaces and other such annoyances from streams. It'll also translate or
cleanup Latin-1 (ISO 8859-1) characters encoded in 8-bit ASCII, Unicode characters encoded in UTF-8, and
CGI escaped characters. Basically its detox, but does not operate on files.
Sequences
inline-detox is driven by a configurable series of filters, called a sequence. Sequences are covered in
more detail in detoxrc(5) and are discoverable with the -L option. Some examples of default sequences are
iso8859_1 and utf_8.
Options
The main options:
-f configfile
Use configfile instead of the default configuration files for loading translation sequences.
No other config file will be parsed.
-h --help Display helpful information.
-L List the currently available sequences. When paired with -v this option shows what filters are
used in each sequence and any properties applied to the filters.
-r Recurse into subdirectories.
-s sequence
Use sequence instead of default.
-v Be verbose about which files are being renamed.
-V Show the current version of inline-detox.
Deprecated Options
Deprecated Options are options that were available in earlier versions of inline-detox but have lost their
meaning and are being phased out.
--remove-trailing
Removes _ and - after .'s in filenames. This was first provided in the 0.9 series of
inline-detox. After the introduction of sequences, it lost its meaning, as you could now
determine the properties of wipeup through a particular sequence's configuration. It presently
forces all instances of the wipeup filter to use remove trailing, regardless of what's actually
in the config files.
FILES
detoxrc The system-wide detoxrc file.
~/.detoxrc A user's personal detoxrc. Normally it extends the system-wide detoxrc, unless -f has been
specified, in which case, it is ignored.
iso8859_1.tbl The default ISO 8859-1 translation table.
unicode.tbl The default Unicode (UTF-8) translation table.
EXAMPLES
echo Foo Bar | inline-detox -s iso8859_1 -v
Will run the sequence iso8859_1 listing any changes and returning the result to STDOUT.

HISTORY
detox was originally designed to clean up files that I had received from friends which had been created
using other operating systems. It's trivial to create a filename with spaces, parenthesis, brackets, and
ampersands under some operating systems. These have special meaning within FreeBSD and Linux, and cause
problems when you go to access them. I created inline-detox to clean up these files.

inline-detox was written by Doug Harple.
BUGS
Long options don't work under Solaris or Darwin.
An error in the config file will cause a segfault as it's going to print the offending word within the
config file.
