NAME

native2ascii − Native−to−ASCII Converter

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 @
http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/technotes/guides/intl/encoding.doc.html 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.
