## DESCRIPTION

`` `vntovn' `` is a simple conversion utility to change charset encoding of a text. It reads either specified files or (if none specified) the standard input, assumes that the input is encoded in `` `src_encoding' `` and ties to reencode it into `` `dst_encoding' ``. The result is written to the standard output. Characters that are not defined in `` `src_encoding' `` are passed to the output unchanged.

Run `` `vntovn' `` without parameters to get short help and list of available encodings.

For more detailed description of `` `vntovn' `` please have a look at the manual of `` `cstocs' ``, from which `` `vntovn' `` was derived.
