SFCONV(1) General Commands Manual SFCONV(1)
NAME
sfconv - A tool for converting the encoding of Standard Format (SF)
files
SYNOPSIS
8-bit to Unicode:
sfconv -8u [-utf8|-be|-le] [-bom] -c ControlFile [-d MappingDirectory]
-i InFile -o OutFile
Unicode to 8-bit:
sfconv -u8 [-utf8|-be|-le] -c ControlFile [-d MappingDirectory] -i In-
File -o OutFile
DESCRIPTION
A tool for converting Standard Format (SF) files is included in the
current TECkit package. This is sfconv , a command-line tool that uses
an XML “control file” to specify the mappings associated with the vari-
ous markers in an SF file. Note that the current SFconv tool should be
considered a prototype rather than a full solution to the issue of SF
conversions. A more complete tool with an improved user interface would
be desirable.
OPTIONS
The SFconv utility uses command-line options to specify the conversion
direction, control file, and input and output files. The required argu-
ments are:
-8u|-u8
conversion direction: 8-bit to Unicode or vice versa
-ccontrolFile
specifies XML control file
-iinFile
specifies filename of input SF file
-ooutFile
specifies filename for converted output
In addition, the following optional arguments may be used if ap-
propriate:
-dmappingDir
directory where mapping files ( .tec files) are to be found
-utf8|-be|-le
Unicode encoding form: UTF-8, UTF-16BE, or UTF16-LE (default is
UTF8 for output, or detected from input file if BOM is present)
-bom (only when mapping to Unicode) write initial BOM to the output
file
-nfc|-nfd
(only when mapping to Unicode) normalize to NFC or NFD
Further Information
For further information see the document TECkit_Tools.pdf. On a Debian
system, this can be found in /usr/share/doc/teckit.
