NAME

       psiconv - Translate Psion 5 and other EPOC device files.

SYNOPSIS

       psiconv [-d|--debug] [-h|--help] [-o|--outputfile] [-s|--silent] [-T|--type=FILETYPE] [-V|--version] [-v|--verbose] [-u|--UTF8] [FILE ...]

DESCRIPTION

       This manual page explains the psiconv program.  Psiconv translates Psion 5 and other EPOC device files to more commonly used formats.
       Psiconv works like a filter: output is sent to stdout without the -o option, and input is read from stdin if no files are given.

OPTIONS

       -d|--debug
	      Show debug information on stderr

       -h|--help
	      Display this help and exit

       -o|--outputfile
	      Output to file instead of stdout

       -s|--silent
	      Do not even show warnings on stderr

       -T|--type=FILETYPE
	      Output type

       -V|--version
	      Display the program version and exit

       -v|--verbose
	      Show progress indicators on stderr

       -u|--UTF8
	      Input file is encoded in UTF8

LICENCE

       Psiconv is released under the Gnu General Public License, version 2 or higher.

BUGS

       Many more formats should be supported.

VT-IS-UTF8(1)							Linux User's Manual						     VT-IS-UTF8(1)

NAME

       vt-is-UTF8 - check whether current VT is in UTF8- or byte-mode.

SYNOPSIS

       vt-is-UTF8 [-h|--help] [-V|--version] [-q|--quiet]

DESCRIPTION

       vt-is-UTF8  checks whether the current VT is in UTF8 mode, by writing (and erasing afterwards) a 3-byte-long UTF8 sequence, and looking how
       much chars where displayed by the console driver.

       A message telling in which mode the console is is then written to stdout (except if the --quiet option was given).

       If the --quiet option is not given, the value returned is 1 if an error occurs, else 0.

OPTIONS

       -h --help
	      display version number, a short help message and exit.

       -V --version
	      display version number and exit.

       -q --quiet
	      do not print on stdout in with mode we are, but return the state as exit-status 1 if in UTF8-mode, 0 if in  byte-mode.  In  case	of
	      error, 0 is returned and a message is displayed on stderr.

BUGS

       The check should be done by directly asking the kernel, which is not possible as of kernels 2.0.x.

       As  of  kernel  2.0.35,	the byte-mode is sometimes erroneously detected as UTF8-mode, after switching from a 512-chars font to a 256-chars
       font.  This is probably a console-driver bug.
