Linux "manconv" Command Line Options and Examples
convert manual page from one encoding to another
manconv converts a manual page from one encoding to another, like iconv. Unlike iconv, it can try multiple possible input encodings in sequence. This is useful for manual pages installed in directories without an explicit encoding declaration, since they may be in UTF-8 or in a legacy character set.
Usage:
manconv -f from-code[:from-code...] -t to-code [-dqhV] [filename]
Command Line Options:
-f
Try each of encodings (a colon-separated list) in sequence as the input encoding.
manconv -f ...
-t
Convert the manual page to encoding.
manconv -t ...
-q
Do not issue error messages when the page cannot be converted.
manconv -q ...
-d
Print debugging information.
manconv -d ...
-h
Print a help message and exit.
manconv -h ...
-V
Display version information.
