TXTCONV(1)

🎀 TXTCONV(1) — General Commands Manual 🎀

okay bestie, this is the manual page for txtconv, the tool that goes through TECkit mappings to convert a plain text file's encoding 💖

✨ NAME ✨

txtconv is the tool that applies TECkit mappings to convert the encoding of a plain text file 🦋

🧚 SYNOPSIS 🧚

txtconv -i inFile -o outFile [-t tecFile] [-r] [-if inForm] [-of outForm] [-nobom] [-nf[cd]] [-u n]

💅 OPTIONS 💅

🫶 Required arguments

You NEED these two, no cap 😭

• -i <file> — your input file, the one you're converting 📄
• -o <file> — your output file, where the converted stuff lands 🍓

🌸 Optional arguments

These are extra, but they're lowkey the fun part ✨

• -t <file> — the compiled TECkit mapping file, the one ending in .tec 🔥
• -r — reverse it! Goes RHS→LHS, or Unicode→Byte 🔄
• -if <form> — the encoding form your input is in 📥
• -of <form> — the encoding form your output should be in 📤
• -nobom — don't write a BOM to Unicode output. No BOM, no problem 🙈
• -nf[cd] — apply NFC or NFD normalization to your Unicode output 💜
• -u <n> — what to do when the input has something that can't be mapped 🌈
  • 0 = use the replacement character
  • 1 = use the replacement, but also generate a warning ⚠️
  • 2 = stop the conversion right there 🛑

🦋 Encoding forms

These are the forms you can pick from, all the way from bytes to utf32le ✨

bytes utf8 utf16be utf16le utf16 utf32be utf32le utf32
