.TH NKF 1L 24/Feb/2000 .SH NAME nkf \- Network Kanji code conversion Filter v2.0.4 .SH SYNOPSIS .B nkf [ .B options ] [ .B file ] .SH DESCRIPTION .PP .B Nkf is a yet another kanji code converter among networks, hosts and terminals. It converts input kanji code to designated kanji code such as 7-bit JIS, MS-kanji (shifted-JIS), utf-8 or EUC. .PP One of the most unique facicility of .B nkf is the guess of the input kanji code. It currently recognizes 7-bit JIS, MS-kanji (shifted-JIS),utf-8 and EUC. So users needn't the input kanji code specification. By default X0201 kana is converted into X0208 kana. For X0201 kana, SO/SI, SSO and ESC-(-I methods are supported. For automatic code detection, nkf assumes no X0201 kana in MS-Kanji. To accept X0201 in MS-Kanji, use \-X, \-x or \-S. .PP Options are bellow: .TP .B \-j output 7-bit JIS code. This is a default. .TP .B \-s output MS-kanji (shifted-JIS) code. .TP .B \-e output EUC (AT&T) code. .TP .B \-w output UTF-8 (Unicode 8bit form). .TP .B \-S Assume MS-Kanji and X0201 kana input. It also accpet JIS. AT&T EUC is recognized as X0201 kana. Without \-x flag, X0201 kana is converted into X0208. .TP .B \-J Assume JIS input. It also accepts Japanese EUC. This is the default. This flag does not excludde MS-Kanji. .TP .B \-E Assume AT&T EUC input. It also accpet JIS. Same as \-J. .TP .B \-B Assume broken JIS-Kanji, which lost ESC. Usefull when your site is using old B-News Nihongo patch. \-B1 allows any char after ESC-( or ESC-$. \-B2 forces ASCII after NL. .TP .B \-W Assume UTF-8 input. .TP .B \-m MIME ISO-2022-JP/ISO8859-1 decode. (default) To see ISO8859-1 (Latin-1) \-l is necessary. \-mN does loose encoding. It allows line break in the middle of the basr64 encoding. .TP .B \-mB Decode MIME base64 encoded stream. Remove header or other part before conversion. .TP .B \-mQ Decode MIME quoted stream. '_' in quoted is converted to space. .TP .B \-m0 No MIME decode. .TP .B \-M MIME encode. Header style. All ASCII code and control characters are intact. .TP .B \-MB MIME encode. Base64 stream. Kanji conversion is performed before encoding, so this cannot be used as a picture encoder. \MQ perfome quoted encoding. .TP .B \-l Input and output code is ISO8859-1 (Latin-1) and ISO-2022-JP. \-s, \-e and \-x are not compatible with this option. .TP .BI \-f n Folding on .BI n length in a line. Default 60. \-f40-0 forces 0 margin folding. .TP .B \-X Allow X0201 kana in MS-Kanji. X0201 is converted into X0208 by default. This is default in MSDOS. .TP .B \-x Try to preseve X0208 kana. Assume X0201 kana in MS-Kanji. And do not convert X0201 kana to X0208. In JIS output, ESC-(-I is used. In EUC output, SSO is used. .TP .B \-Z Convert X0208 alphabet to ASCII. \-Z1 converts X0208 kankaku to one ASCII space. \-Z2 converts X0208 kankaku to two ASCII spaces. .TP .B \-Z3 Replacing "><&" into '>', '<', '"', '&' as in HTML. .TP .B \-I Replacing Non iso-2022-jp char into the strage geta character. .TP .B \-b bufferd output. This is a default. .TP .B \-u unbufferd output. .TP .B \-t no operations. .TP .B \-O Output result to file. The first name in arguments becomes output. Please be careful. If there are no file arguments, nkf.out is chosen. \--overwrite does rewriting. Original listed files are replaced by filtered result. .TP .BI \-i c output .BI ESC\-$\- c as sequence to designate JIS-kanji (Default is .BR B .) .TP .BI \-o c output .BI ESC\-(\- c as sequence to designate single-byte roman characters (Default is .BR B .) .TP .B \-r {de/en}crypt ROT13/47 .TP .B \-v display Version .TP .B \-T Text mode output (MS-DOS) .TP .B \-c add CR after NL. .TP .B \-d delete CR after NL. .TP .B -L[wmu] new line mode .nf -Lu unix (LF) -Lw windows (CRLF) -Lm mac (CR) default no conversion .fl .PP .B \-F New line preserving line folding. .PP hiragana/katakana translation \-h1 \--katakana \-h2 \--hirakana \-h3 \--hirakana-katakana .TP .B -- long options .nf --fj,--unix,--mac,--msdos, --windows convert for these system --jis,--euc,--sjis,--mime,--base64 convert for named code --jis-input,--euc-input,--sjis-input,--mime-input,--base64-input assume input system -- ignore rest of -option --help --version .fl .SH "FILES" nkf - binary .SH AUTHOR Itaru Ichikawa , (was ichikawa@fujitsu.JUNET) .SH EDITOR a_kuroe@hoffman.cc.sophia.ac.jp (Akihiko Kuroe), kono@ie.u-ryukyu.ac.jp (Shinji KONO), furukawa@tcp-ip.or.jp ( Rei FURUKAWA )` .SH BUGS .B Nkf cannot handle some input that contains mixed kanji codes. Automatic code detection becomes very weak with \-x, \-X and \-S. MIME encoding is very loose. .fl .SH ACKNOWLEDGE Thanks for those people. nkf 1.7,1.9,2.0 Akio Furukawa, OHARA Shigeki, Hiroaki Sengoku, Ikuhiro MORITA, Junn Ohta, KAWAMURA Masao, Kazuhiko Mori, Keitaro Isokawa, Ken-ichi Hirose, Ki-ichiro SATO, Kiwamu Aoyama, Koichi Hirayama, Mitsuru Hase, OHARA Shigeki, Rei FURUKAWA, Satoru Takabayashi, Shigeyuki Takagi, Shin MICHIMUKO, Tsutomu Sakai, YAMASHITA Junji, Yasuyuki Sato, Yoshiaki Yanagihara, Yoshiaki Yanagihara, hat@so-net, SHIOZAKI Takehiko, Koji Arai, Eiichiro Itani, Masayuki Hatta, and many others.
