20: .SH DESCRIPTION
21: .I Tcs
22: interprets the named
23: .I file(s)
24: (standard input default) as a stream of characters from the
25: .I ics
26: character set or format, converts them to runes,
27: and then converts them into a stream of characters from the
28: .I ocs
29: character set or format on the standard output.
30: The default value for
31: .I ics
32: and
33: .I ocs
34: is
35: .BR utf ,
36: the
37: .SM UTF
38: encoding described in
39: .IR utf (6).
40: The
41: .B -l
42: option lists the character sets known to
43: .IR tcs .
44: Processing continues in the face of conversion errors (the
45: .B -s
46: option prevents reporting of these errors).
47: The
48: .B -c
49: option forces the output to contain only correctly converted characters;
50: otherwise,
51: .B 0x80
52: characters will be substituted for
53: .SM UTF
54: encoding errors and
55: .B 0xFFFD
56: characters will substituted for unknown characters.
57: .PP
58: The
59: .B -v
60: option generates various diagnostic and summary information on standard error,
61: or makes the
62: .B -l
63: output more verbose.
64: .PP
65: .I Tcs
66: recognizes an ever changing list of character sets.
67: In particular, it supports a variety of Russian and Japanese encodings.
68: Some of the supported encodings are
