ICONVCONFIG(8) Linux System Administration ICONVCONFIG(8)

NAME

     iconvconfig - create iconv module configuration cache

SYNOPSIS

     iconvconfig [options] [directory]...

DESCRIPTION

     The  iconv(3)  function internally uses gconv modules to convert to and
     from a character set.  A configuration file is used  to  determine  the
     needed modules for a conversion.  Loading and parsing such a configura-
     tion file would slow down programs that  use  iconv(3),  so  a  caching
     mechanism is employed.
     The  iconvconfig  program  reads  iconv  module configuration files and
     writes a fast-loading gconv module configuration cache file.
     In addition to the system provided gconv modules, the user can  specify
     custom   gconv   module   directories  with  the  environment  variable
     GCONV_PATH.  However, iconv module configuration caching is  used  only
     when the environment variable GCONV_PATH is not set.

OPTIONS

  1. -nostdlib

Do not search the system default gconv directory, only the

            directories provided on the command line.
  1. o outputfile, –output=outputfile

Use outputfile for output instead of the system default cache

            location.
  1. -prefix=pathname

Set the prefix to be prepended to the system pathnames. See

            FILES, below.  By default, the prefix  is  empty.   Setting  the
            prefix to foo, the gconv module configuration would be read from
            foo/usr/lib/gconv/gconv-modules and the cache would  be  written
            to foo/usr/lib/gconv/gconv-modules.cache.
  1. ?, –help

Print a usage summary and exit.

  1. -usage

Print a short usage summary and exit.

  1. V, –version

Print the version number, license, and disclaimer of warranty

            for iconv.

EXIT STATUS

     Zero on success, nonzero on errors.

FILES

     /usr/lib/gconv
            Usual default gconv module path.
     /usr/lib/gconv/gconv-modules
            Usual system default gconv module configuration file.
     /usr/lib/gconv/gconv-modules.cache
            Usual system gconv module configuration cache.
