NAME

native2ascii - native to ASCII converter

SYNOPSIS

native2ascii [ -encoding encoding_name] [ -reverse ] [ inputfile [outputfile]]

DESCRIPTION

The javac(1) compiler and other Javatm tools can only pro­ cess files that contain Latin-1 or Unicode-encoded (\udddd notation) characters. The native2ascii command converts files that contain other character encoding into files containing Latin-1 or Unicode-encoded charaters. If outputfile is omitted, standard output is used for out­ put. If inputfile is also omitted, standard input is used for input.

OPTIONS

The following options are supported: -encoding encoding_name Specifies the encoding name that is used by the conversion procedure. The default encoding is taken from system property file.encoding. The encoding_name string must be one taken from the first column of the table of supported encodings in the Supported Encodings document: http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.3/docs/guide/intl/encod­ ing.doc.html -reverse Performs the reverse operation: converts a file with Latin-1 or Unicode-encoded char­ acters to one with native-encoded charac­ ters. 13 July 2000 native2ascii(1)
