# mixconv(1)

transcode mixed-encoding files

## NAME

**mixconv** – transcode mixed-encoding files

## SYNOPSIS

**mixconv** \[**-dv**\] \[**-f** *charset*\] \[**-o** *outfile*\] \[*file* *...*\]

## DESCRIPTION

The **mixconv** utility reads text encoded in a mixture of UTF-8 and a non-UTF 8-bit encoding and converts it to UTF-8.

The non-UTF 8-bit encoding is assumed to be Latin-1, unless a different encoding is specified with the **-f** option.

The following options are available:

- **-d**

  Show debugging information. This option can be specified multiple times to increase the level of detail.

- **-f** *charset*

  Specify the assumed character set for non-ASCII, non-UTF-8 text. The default is “iso8859-1”.

- **-h**

  Print a usage message and exit.

- **-v**

  Print the source reversion number and exit.
