Converts a file with native-encoded characters (characters which are non-Latin 1
and non-Unicode) to one with
Unicode-encoded characters.
SYNOPSIS
native2ascii [options] [inputfile [outputfile]]
DESCRIPTION
The Java compiler and other Java tools can only process files which contain
Latin-1 and/or Unicode-encoded (\udddd notation) characters. native2ascii
converts files
which contain other character encodings into files
containing Latin-1 and/or Unicode-encoded charaters.
If outputfile is omitted, standard output is used
for output. If, in addition, inputfile is omitted,
standard input is used for input.
OPTIONS
-reverse
Perform the reverse operation: convert a file with Latin-1 and/or Unicode encoded characters
to one with native-encoded characters.
-encoding encoding_name
Specify the encoding name which is used by the conversion procedure.
The default encoding is taken from System property file.encoding. The encoding_name string must be taken from
the first column of the table of supported encodings in the
Supported
Encodings document.
-Joption
Pass option to the Java virtual machine, where
option is one of the options described on the
reference page for the java application
launcher. For example, -J-Xms48m sets the startup
memory to 48 megabytes.
