Synopsis


fixfile [options] [file file...]

Options

-c\|--crlf	convert line endings to CRLF; default: LF (unix)
-e\|--encoding=X	convert to encoding X
-H\|--Help	print full documentation via less and exit
-h\|--help	print short help and exit
-v\|--verbose	be [not] verbose (quiet is the default)
-V\|--version	print version and exit

Description

fixfile converts the given files in place, as follows:

the encoding is converted to the encoding specified by the --encoding option, UTF8 by default.
line endings are replaced with linefeeds (\xA), or, with the --crlf option, with carriage return + line feed (\xD\xA).
If the file appears to be an HTML file, non-ASCII characters are replaced with their HTML equivalents; so for example ö will be replaced with ö.

If no file is given, converts standard input to standard output. If any of the input files can not be converted for any reason, none of the files are converted and the script quits with exit value 1.

Bugs

This script needs the utf82html executable. Sources for it are available here.
