## DESCRIPTION

**ujconv** is an iconv-like tool which is written in perl using Unicode::Japanese.

**ujconv** reads text from STDIN or files, convert them, and print them to STDOUT.

Available options are as follows. Each options can be in short form (-f) or long form (--from):

- \-f,--from *from\_encoding*

  Convert characters from *from\_encoding*. Unlike **iconv** this option can be omitted. In that case, the encoding of the input is guessed by **ujconv**.

- \-t,--to *to\_encoding*

  Convert characters to *to\_encoding*.

- \-s,--string *string*

  Input from the argument string instead of file or STDIN.

- \-l,--list

  List all available encodings, one name per each lines.

- \-h,--help

  Print a short help message.

- \-V,--version

  Print the version of **ujconv**.
