  41 The <b>iconv</b> program converts text from one encoding to
  42 another encoding. More precisely, it converts <b>from</b>
  43 the encoding given for the <b>-f</b> option <b>to</b> the
  44 encoding given for the <b>-t</b> option. Either of these
  45 encodings defaults to the encoding of the current locale.
  46 All the <i>inputfile</i>s are read and converted in turn; if
  47 no <i>inputfile</i> is given, the standard input is used.
  48 The converted text is printed to standard
  49 output.</td></table>
