.TH TCS 1 .SH NAME tcs \- translate character sets .SH SYNOPSIS .B tcs [ .B -slcv ] [ .B -f .I ics ] [ .B -t .I ocs ] [ .I file ... ] .SH DESCRIPTION .I Tcs interprets the named .I file(s) (standard input default) as a stream of characters from the .I ics character set or format, converts them to runes, and then converts them into a stream of characters from the .I ocs character set or format on the standard output. The default value for .I ics and .I ocs is .BR utf , the .SM UTF encoding described in .IR utf (6). The .B -l option lists the character sets known to .IR tcs . Processing continues in the face of conversion errors (the .B -s option prevents reporting of these errors). The .B -c option forces the output to contain only correctly converted characters; otherwise, .B Runeerror (0xFFFD) characters will be substituted for .SM UTF encoding errors and unknown characters. .PP The .B -v option generates various diagnostic and summary information on standard error, or makes the .B -l output more verbose. .PP .I Tcs recognizes an ever changing list of character sets. In particular, it supports a variety of Russian and Japanese encodings. Some of the supported encodings are .TF jis-kanji .TP .B utf The Plan 9 .SM UTF encoding, known by ISO as UTF-8 .TP .B utf1 The deprecated original .SM UTF encoding from ISO 10646 .TP .B ascii 7-bit ASCII .TP .B 8859-1 Latin-1 (Central European) .TP .B 8859-2 Latin-2 (Czech ..

Unknown Kanji will be converted into .B 0xFFFD characters. .TP .B tcs -t html Convert UTF into character set-independent HTML. .TP .B tcs -lv Print an up to date list of the supported character sets. .SH SOURCE .B /sys/src/cmd/tcs .SH SEE ALSO .IR ascii (1), .IR rune (2), .IR utf (6).
