💖 GAUCHE-CESCONV 💖

okay bestie, gather round, because we're talking about gauche-cesconv, a lil command from the Gauche Commands family, and honestly? it's giving quiet overachiever. ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

gauche-cesconv — convert text from one character encoding scheme to another. that's it, that's the whole job, and she does it flawlessly 💅

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

gauche-cesconv [-h] [-f encoding] [-t encoding] [-o outfile] [infile]

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so gauche-cesconv is a program that converts text from one character encoding scheme (CES) to another, and it does this using Gauche's character conversion module. which means the supported character sets are literally the same as Gauche's. want the full tea? see the info document of Gauche for more details, no cap 📖

now, are there other commands that do the same thing and more? sure bestie, iconv(1) and nkf(1) exist. but here's the thing — they are not universally available by default. and that's exactly why this command exists: it's provided for Gauche's external packages to ease the installation and configuration process. for those packages, it is certain that gauche-cesconv is available, so they don't need to check availability of iconv etc. reliability queen behavior, we love to see it 👑

and when infile is omitted? the text is read from standard input. easy ✨

💖 OPTIONS 💖

  • -f, --from-code=encoding — selects input encoding. can be *JP to guess the character encoding from japanese text, among either ISO2022-JP(-1,2,3), EUCJP, SHIFT_JIS or UTF-8. if omitted, gauche's native CES is used. psychic detective energy 🔮
  • -h, --help — show summary of options. your girl is helpful like that 🫶
  • -o, --output=outfile — place output in file outfile. if omitted the converted text is written to standard output.
  • -t, --to-code=encoding — selects output encoding. (see also --from-code) 💫

😭 DIAGNOSTICS 😭

gauche-cesconv exits with status 0 on success. zero drama, zero chaos, just success ✨
