<H2>DESCRIPTION</H2>
<B>manconv</B>
converts a manual page from one encoding to another, like
<B>iconv</B>.
Unlike
<B>iconv</B>,
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.
<P>
If an encoding declaration is found on the first line of the manual page,
that declaration overrides any input encodings specified on
<B>manconv</B>'s
command line.
Encoding declarations have the following form:
<P>
<DL COMPACT><DT id="1"><DD>
<PRE>
'\&quot; -*- coding: UTF-8 -*-
</PRE>
</DL>
<P>
or (if manual page preprocessors are also to be declared):
<P>
<DL COMPACT><DT id="2"><DD>
<PRE>
'\&quot; t -*- coding: ISO-8859-1 -*-
</PRE>
</DL>
<A NAME="lbAE">&nbsp;</A>
<H2>OPTIONS</H2>
<DL COMPACT>
<DT id="3"><B>-f</B> <I>encodings</I>, <B>--from-code</B> <I>encodings</I><DD>
Try each of
<I>encodings</I>
(a colon-separated list) in sequence as the input encoding.
The default is to guess likely input encodings based on the file name.
<DT id="4"><B>-t</B> <I>encoding</I>, <B>--to-code</B> <I>encoding</I><DD>
Convert the manual page to
<I>encoding</I>.
<DT id="5"><B>-q</B>, <B>--quiet</B>
<DD>
Do not issue error messages when the page cannot be converted.
<DT id="6"><B>-d</B>, <B>--debug</B>
<DD>
Print debugging information.
<DT id="7"><B>-h</B>, <B>--help</B>
<DD>
Print a help message and exit.
<DT id="8"><B>-V</B>, <B>--version</B>
<DD>
Display version information.
