The result is written to standard output unless otherwise specified by the --output option. --from-code, -f encoding Convert characters from encoding --to-code, -t encoding Convert characters to encoding Convert characters to encoding --list List known coded character sets --output, -o file Specify output file (instead of stdin) --verbose Print progress information.

The only advantage of this package is that programs linked against the provided libraries do not require that the version of OS/2 is new enough to support UCONV.DLL. All they require is that iconv.dll with 3 export points iconv() iconv_close() iconv_open(). While the supplied DLL works on Warp 3 after fp32, and Warp 4 after fp4, one can easily compile such a DLL (from POSIX sources) which would work on any version of OS/2 - if a need arises. The disadvantage of this package is that it is specific to EMX -Zmtd executables (but it comes with manpages too! ;-). =========== HOWTO INSTALL Copy ./include/* to a directory on your C_INCLUDE_PATH environment variable, ../lib/* to LIBRARY_PATH, ./man/* to MANPATH; put ./dll/* to LIBPATH. To get information in HTML, google for "iconv.3". E.g., http://inferno.slug dot org/man-pages-1.53/man3/iconv.html Enjoy, Ilya Zakharevich =========== HOWTO BUILD gcc -O -s -Zdll -Zcrtdll -Zomf -o iconv.dll -liconv2 iconv.def lxlite *.dll emximp -o iconv.lib iconv.def emximp -o iconv.a iconv.def This assumes that the library iconv2.lib is in a directory on your LIBRARY_PATH environment variable. =========== iconv.def LIBRARY iconv INITINSTANCE DATA MULTIPLE NONSHARED DESCRIPTION ' at #ilyaz dot org/:# at Code sets conversion DLL; frontend to builtin UCONV DLL of OS/2.
