       Converts  a  file  encoded  in a specified or default non-unicode encoding to unicode (UTF16), or, if the
       file is already in unicode, converts it to a specified or default non-unicode  encoding.   The  converted
       text is printed to standard out.  If the filename is a hyphen then this tool reads from standard input.

       cvtenc - file encoding converter

-Encodingencoding
           Specify  non-unicode  encoding  to  be used.  The direction of conversion depends on whether the file
           given as input is recognized as unicode (from the higher order bytes).  To get a  list  of  available
           encodings,  enter  "list"  for  the encoding.  If this is not specified, the default encoding for the
           current locale is used.

       -EscapeInYES|NO
           Specify '-EscapeIn YES' (the default is 'NO') to parse the input  for  \u  escape  sequences  (as  in
           property lists).

       -EscapeOutYES|NO
           Specify '-EscapeOut YES' (the default is 'NO') to generate \u escape sequences (as in property lists)
           in the output.  Note, this might produce unexpected results for some encodings.

       -UnicodeIN|OUT
           Specify  '-Unicode  IN' (or '-Unicode OUT') to control the direction of conversion rather than having
           the tool guess it on the basis of the content it reads.  Using '-Unicode  IN'  means  that  the  tool
           reads  UTF16  data and writes C-String data, while using '-Unicode OUT' merans that the tool reads C-
           String data and writes UTF16 data.
