unftrip - Man Page

unftrip [--ascii] [--encoding=VAL] [--unicode-version] [OPTION]… [FILE]

unftrip inputs Unicode text from stdin and rewrites it to stdout according to a specified Unicode normalization form (see UAX 15).

If no normalization form is specified the character stream is left intact.

Invalid byte sequences in the input are reported on stderr and replaced by the Unicode replacement character (U+FFFD) in the output.

--nfc

Normalization Form C (NFC), canonical decomposition followed by canonical composition.

--nfd

Normalization Form D (NFD), canonical decomposition.

--nfkc

Normalization form KC (NFKC), compatibility decomposition followed by canonical composition.

--nfkd

Normalization form KD (NFKD), compatibility decomposition.

FILE (absent=-)

The input file. Reads from stdin if unspecified.

-a,  --ascii

Output the input text as newline (U+000A) separated Unicode scalar values written in the US-ASCII charset.

-e VAL, --encoding=VAL

Input encoding, must one of UTF-8, UTF-16, UTF-16LE, UTF-16BE, ASCII or latin1. If unspecified the encoding is guessed. The output encoding is the same as the input encoding except for ASCII and latin1 where UTF-8 is output.

--unicode-version

Output supported Unicode version.

--help[=FMT] (default=auto)

Show this help in format FMT. The value FMT must be one of auto, pager, groff or plain. With auto, the format is pager or plain whenever the TERM env var is dumb or undefined.

--version

Show version information.

unftrip exits with one of the following values:

0

no error occurred

1

a command line parsing error occurred

2

the input text was malformed

0

on success.

123

on indiscriminate errors reported on standard error.

124

on command line parsing errors.

125

on unexpected internal errors (bugs).
