Overview

jv-convert is a utility included with "libgcj" which converts a file from one encoding to another. It is similar to the Unix iconv utility.

The encodings supported by jv-convert are platform-dependent. Currently there is no way to get a list of all supported encodings.

-o file

--reverse

Swap the input and output encodings.
