<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">The |
| 57 |
<b>iconv</b> program converts text from one encoding to |
| 58 |
another encoding. More precisely, it converts <b>from</b> |
| 59 |
the encoding given for the <b>−f</b> option <b>to</b> |
| 60 |
the encoding given for the <b>−t</b> option. Either of |
| 61 |
these encodings defaults to the encoding of the current |
| 62 |
locale. All the <i>inputfile</i>s are read and converted in |
| 63 |
turn; if no <i>inputfile</i> is given, the standard input is |
| 64 |
used. The converted text is printed to standard output.</p> |

<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">The encodings |
