NAME
native2ascii - Native-to-ASCII Converter
Converts a file with native-encoded characters (characters which are non-Latin 1 and non-Unicode) to one with Unicode-encoded characters.
SYNOPSIS
native2ascii
[options] [inputfile [outputfile]]
DESCRIPTION
The Java compiler and other Java tools can only process files which contain Latin-1 and/or Unicode-encoded (\udddd notation) characters. native2ascii converts files which contain other character encodings into files containing Latin-1 and/or Unicode-encoded charaters.
If outputfile is omitted, standard output is used for output. If, in addition, inputfile is omitted, standard input is used for input.
