+NAME
+ iconv - character set conversion
+
+SYNOPSIS
+ iconv [-c] [-s] [-f encoding] [-t encoding] [inputfile ...]
+ iconv -l
+
+DESCRIPTION
+ The iconv program converts text from one encoding to
+ another encoding. More precisely, it converts from the
+ encoding given for the -f option to the encoding given
+ for the -t option. Either of these encodings defaults to
+ the encoding of the current locale. All the inputfiles
+ are read and converted in turn; if no inputfile is
+ given, the standard input is used. The converted text is
+ printed to standard output.
+
+ When option -c is given, characters that cannot be con-
+ verted are silently discarded, instead of leading to a
+ conversion error.
+
+ When option -s is given, error messages about invalid or
+ unconvertible characters are omitted, but the actual
+ converted text is unaffected.
+
+ The encodings permitted are system dependent. For the
+ libiconv implementation, they are listed in the
+ iconv_open(3) manual page.
+
+ The iconv -l command lists the names of the supported
+ encodings, in a system dependent format. For the libi-
+ conv implementation, the names are printed in upper
+ case, separated by whitespace, and alias names of an
+ encoding are listed on the same line as the encoding
+ itself.
