NAME
       recode - converts files between character sets

SYNOPSIS
       lt-recode [OPTION]... [ [CHARSET] | REQUEST [FILE]... ]

DESCRIPTION
       Recode converts files between various character sets and surfaces.

       If  a  long option shows an argument as mandatory, then it is mandatory
       for the equivalent short option also.   Similarly  for  optional	 argu‐
       ments.

   Listings:
       -l, --list[=FORMAT]
	      list one or all known charsets and aliases

       -k, --known=PAIRS
	      restrict charsets according to known PAIRS list

       -h, --header[=[LN/]NAME]
	      write table NAME on stdout using LN, then exit

       -F, --freeze-tables
	      write out a C module holding all tables

       -T, --find-subsets
	      report all charsets being subset of others

       -C, --copyright
	      display Copyright and copying conditions

       --help display this help and exit

       --version
	      output version information and exit

   Operation modes:
       -v, --verbose
	      explain sequence of steps and report progress

       -q, --quiet, --silent
	      inhibit messages about irreversible recodings

       -f, --force
	      force recodings even when not reversible

       -t, --touch
	      touch the recoded files after replacement

       -i, --sequence=files
	      use intermediate files for sequencing passes

       --sequence=memory
	      use memory buffers for sequencing passes

       -p, --sequence=pipe
	      use pipe machinery for sequencing passes

   Fine tuning:
       -s, --strict
	      use strict mappings, even loose characters

       -d, --diacritics
	      convert only diacritics or alike for HTML/LaTeX

       -S, --source[=LN]
	      limit recoding to strings and comments as for LN

       -c, --colons
	      use colons instead of double quotes for diaeresis

       -g, --graphics
	      approximate IBMPC rulers by ASCII graphics

       -x, --ignore=CHARSET
	      ignore CHARSET while choosing a recoding path

       Option  -l  with no FORMAT nor CHARSET list available charsets and sur‐
       faces.  FORMAT is `decimal', `octal', `hexadecimal' or `full'  (or  one
       of  `dohf').   Unless  DEFAULT_CHARSET  is  set in environment, CHARSET
       defaults to  the	 locale	 dependent  encoding,  determined  by  LC_ALL,
       LC_CTYPE,  LANG.	  With -k, possible before charsets are listed for the
       given after CHARSET, both being tabular charsets,  with	PAIRS  of  the
       form `BEF1:AFT1,BEF2:AFT2,...'  and BEFs and AFTs being codes are given
       as decimal numbers.  LN is some language, it  may  be  `c',  `perl'  or
       `po'; `c' is the default.

       REQUEST	is SUBREQUEST[,SUBREQUEST]...; SUBREQUEST is ENCODING[..ENCOD‐
       ING]...	ENCODING is [CHARSET][/[SURFACE]]...; REQUEST often looks like
       BEFORE..AFTER,  with  BEFORE  and  AFTER	 being	charsets.   An omitted
       CHARSET implies the usual charset; an omitted [/SURFACE]...  means  the
       implied	surfaces  for CHARSET; a / with an empty surface name means no
       surfaces at all.	 See the manual.

       If none of -i and -p are given, presume -p if no FILE, else  -i.	  Each
       FILE  is	 recoded  over itself, destroying the original.	 If no FILE is
       specified, then act as a filter and recode stdin to stdout.
