Overview
The inline-detox utility generates new filenames to make them easier to work with under Linux and other Unix-like operating systems. It replaces characters that make it hard to type out a filename with dashes and underscores. It also provides transcoding-based filters, converting ISO-8859-1 or CP-1252 to UTF-8. An additional filter unescapes CGI-escaped filenames.
inline-detox reads filename(s) from the input stream and writes the updated filename(s) to the output stream.
If a filename is passed on the command line, inline-detox reads this file and processes each line before writing it to the output stream.
Running detox --inline is identical to running inline-detox.
Sequences
inline-detox is driven by a configurable series of filters, called a sequence. Sequences are covered in more detail in detoxrc(5) and are discoverable with the -L option. The default sequence will run the safe and wipeup filters. Other examples of pre-configured sequences are iso8859_1 and iso8859_1-legacy, which both provide transcoding to UTF-8, and then finish with the safe and wipeup filters.
Options
-
-f configfile -
Use configfile instead of the default configuration files for loading translation sequences. No other config file will be parsed.
-
-h, --help -
Display helpful information.
-
-L -
List the currently available sequences. When paired with
-vthis option shows what filters are used in each sequence and any properties applied to the filters. -
-s sequence -
Use sequence instead of
default. -
-v -
Be verbose about which files are being renamed.
-
-V -
Show the current version of
inline-detox.
Files
-
-
~/.detoxrc -
A user's personal detoxrc. Normally it extends the system-wide detoxrc, unless
-fhas been specified, in which case, it is ignored. -
/usr/share/detox/cp1252.tbl -
The provided CP-1252 transcoding table.
-
/usr/share/detox/iso8859_1.tbl -
The provided ISO-8859-1 transcoding table.
-
/usr/share/detox/safe.tbl -
The provided safe character translation table.
-
/usr/share/detox/unicode.tbl -
The provided Unicode control character filtering table, used by the UTF-8 filter.
Examples
- echo Foo Bar |
inline-detox-slower-v -
Will run the sequence lower, listing any changes and returning the result to the output stream.
