native2ascii(1)native2ascii(1)NAMEnative2ascii - native to ASCII converter
SYNOPSISnative2ascii [ options ]
[ inputfile [outputfile]]
DESCRIPTION
The Java compiler and other Java tools can only process files that con‐
tain Latin-1 or Unicode-encoded (\udddd notation) characters.
native2ascii converts files that contain other character encoding into
files containing Latin-1 or Unicode-encoded charaters.
If outputfile is omitted, standard output is used for output. In addi‐
tion, if inputfile is omitted, standard input is used for input.
OPTIONS
The following options are supported:
-encoding encoding_name
Specifies the encoding name that is used by the conversion proce‐
dure. The default encoding is taken from system property
file.encoding. The encoding_name string must be one taken from
the first column of the table of supported encodings in the Sup‐
ported Encodings document:
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5/docs/guide/intl/encoding.doc.html
-reverse
Performs the reverse operation: converts a file with Latin-1 or
Unicode-encoded characters to one with native-encoded characters.
-Joption Pass option to the Java virtual machine, where option is
one of the options described on the man page for the
java application launcher, java(1). For example, -J-
Xms48m sets the startup memory to 48 megabytes. It is a
common convention for -J to pass options to the underly‐
ing virtual machine.
