# coco(1)

## NAME

coco -- code converter for any of Mule's code

## SYNOPSIS

**coco** \[ *-hlvq* \] \[\[ *INCODE* \] *OUTCODE* \] \< *infile* \> *outtile*\

## DESCRIPTION

*coco* runs as a filter for code conversion among any coding-systems which Mule can handle.

## OPTIONS

- **-h**

  Print help message.

- **-l**

  List all valid INCODE and OUTCODE.

- **-v**

  Print verbose information about conversion.

- **-q**

  Just investigate a coding-system of *infile*

- **INCODE**

  Indicate coding-system of *infile,* defaults to \*autoconv\*, which means coding-system of *infile* is detected automatically.

- **OUTCODE**

  Indicate coding-system of *outfile,* defaults to \*internal\*.

## MISC

*coco* uses two data files, CHARSETS and CODINGS.  These are created while installing *mule.* So, priority of coding-systems handled by *coco* is the same as what handled by *mule.*

## FILES

/usr/local/lib/emacs/$VERSION/etc/CHARSETS - A file which contains information of character sets and fonts.

/usr/local/lib/emacs/$VERSION/etc/CODINGS - A file which contains information of coding-systems and priorities.
