SYNOPSIS

Examples of command-line invocation:

$ decode ArabTeX < decode.d | encode Buckwalter > encode.d
$ decode MacArabic < data.MacArabic > data.UTF8
$ encode WinArabic < data.UTF8 > data.WinArabic

The core of the implementation:

getopts('p:s:v', $options);

$e = shift @ARGV;

while (<>) {

    print encode "utf8", decode $e, $options->{'p'} . $_ . $options->{'s'};
}

DESCRIPTION

The Encode library provides a unified interface for converting strings from different encodings into a common representation, and vice versa.

The encode and decode programs mimick the fuction calls to the encode and decode methods, respectively.

For the list of supported encoding schemes, please refer to Encode and the source files of the programs. The naming of encodings is case-insensitive.
