💅 MARIADB-CONV(1) — bestie's guide to the MariaDB character set conversion utility

okay so. this is mariadb-conv, a character set conversion utility for MariaDB, from the MariaDB Database System manual page 1. it's giving "glow-up for your encodings" energy and honestly? iconic. ✨

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

mariadb-conv [OPTION...] [FILE...]

that's it. that's the whole vibe. options first, then some files if you feel like it. 🫶

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

mariadb-conv is a character set conversion utility for MariaDB. that's the whole job, and it does it slayfully.

mariadb-conv supports the following options. 🎀

  • --from=name, -f name — tells it what encoding the input is in. like, what's the input's whole personality.
  • --to=name, -t name — tells it what encoding you want the output to be. the glow-up destination. 💖
  • --continue, -c — silently ignore conversion errors. no drama, no notes, we just keep moving. 🙈
  • --delimiter=name, — treat the specified characters as delimiters. (yep, that's the whole listing — the trailing comma is literally in the original, no cap, don't come for me.)
