NAME
        nkf - Network Kanji code conversion Filter v1.9
 
SYNOPSIS
        nkf [ options ] [ file ]
 
DESCRIPTION
        Nkf  is a yet another kanji code converter among networks,
        hosts and terminals.  It converts input kanji code to des­
        ignated  kanji  code such as 7-bit JIS, MS-kanji (shifted-
        JIS) or EUC.
 
        One of the most unique facicility of nkf is the  guess  of
        the  input kanji code.  It currently recognizes 7-bit JIS,
        MS-kanji (shifted-JIS) and  EUC.   So  users  needn't  the
        input kanji code specification.
 
        By  default  X0201  kana is converted into X0208 kana. For
        X0201 kana, SO/SI, SSO and ESC-(-I methods are  supported.
        For automatic code detection, nkf assumes no X0201 kana in
        MS-Kanji. To accept X0201 in MS-Kanji, use -X, -x or -S.
 
        Options are bellow:
 
        -b     bufferd output.  This is a default.
 
        -u     unbufferd output.
 
        -t     no operations.
 
        -j     output 7-bit JIS code.  This is a default.
 
        -s     output MS-kanji (shifted-JIS) code.
 
        -e     output EUC (AT&T) code.
 
        -ic    output ESC-$-c as sequence to  designate  JIS-kanji
               (Default is B.)
 
        -oc    output ESC-(-c as sequence to designate single-byte
               roman characters (Default is B.)
 
        -r     {de/en}crypt ROT13/47
 
        -v     display Version
 
        -T     Text mode output (MS-DOS)
 
        -m     MIME ISO-2022-JP/ISO8859-1 decode. (default) To see
               ISO8859-1 (Latin-1) -l is necessary.
 
        -mB    Decode MIME base64 encoded stream. Remove header or
               other part before conversion.
 
        -mQ    Decode MIME quoted stream. '_' in  quoted  is  con­
               verted to space.
 
        -m0    No MIME decode.
 
        -M     MIME  encode. Header style. All ASCII code and con­
               trol characters are intact.
 
        -MB    MIME encode.  Base64 stream.  Kanji  conversion  is
               performed  before  encoding, so this cannot be used
               as a picture encoder.
 
        -l     Input and output code is  ISO8859-1  (Latin-1)  and
               ISO-2022-JP.  -s, -e and -x are not compatible with
               this option.
 
        -fn    Folding on n length in a line. Default 60.
 
        -X     Allow X0201 kana in MS-Kanji.  X0201  is  converted
               into X0208 by default.  This is default in MSDOS.
 
        -x     Try  to  preseve  X0208 kana.  Assume X0201 kana in
               MS-Kanji. And do not convert X0201 kana  to  X0208.
               In  JIS output, ESC-(-I is used. In EUC output, SSO
               is used.
 
        -Z     Convert X0208 alphabet to ASCII. -Z1 converts X0208
               kankaku  to  one  ASCII  space.  -Z2 converts X0208
               kankaku to two ASCII spaces.
 
        -S     Assume MS-Kanji  and  X0201  kana  input.  It  also
               accpet  JIS.  AT&T EUC is recognized as X0201 kana.
               Without -x  flag,  X0201  kana  is  converted  into
               X0208.
 
        -J     Assume   JIS  input.  It also accepts Japanese EUC.
               This is the default. This flag  does  not  excludde
               MS-Kanji.
 
        -E     Assume AT&T EUC input. It also accpet JIS.  Same as
               -J.
 
        -B     Assume broken JIS-Kanji, which lost  ESC.   Usefull
               when  your  site is using old B-News Nihongo patch.
               -B1 allows any  char  after  ESC-(  or  ESC-$.  -B2
               forces ASCII after NL.
 
        -O     Output  result to file. The first name in arguments
               becomes output.  Please be careful. If there are no
               file arguments, nkf.out is chosen.
 
        -c     add CR after NL.
 
        -d     delete CR after NL.
 
        -L[wmu] new line mode
                   -Lu   unix (LF)
                   -Lw   windows (CRLF)
                   -Lm   mac (CR)
               default no conversion

 BUGS
        Nkf  cannot  handle  some  input that contains mixed kanji
        codes.  Automatic code detection becomes  very  weak  with
        -x, -X and -S.
