File Encoding Examiner

The File Encoding Examiner (fsexam) enables you to convert the name of a file, or the contents of a plain-text file, from a legacy character encoding to UTF-8 encoding. New features in the fsexam utility include the following:

• Encoding list customization

• Encoding auto-detection

• Support for dry runs, logs, batch conversion, file filtering, symbolic files, command line, and special file types like compress file

For more information, see the fsexam(1) and fsexam(4) man pages.
