convmv is meant to help convert a single filename, a directory tree and the
|
||
|
|
contained files or a whole filesystem into a different encoding. It just
|
||
|
|
converts the filenames, not the content of the files. A special feature of
|
||
|
|
convmv is that it also takes care of symlinks, also converts the symlink target
|
||
|
|
pointer in case the symlink target is being converted, too.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
All this comes in very handy when one wants to switch over from old 8-bit
|
||
|
|
locales to UTF-8 locales. It is also possible to convert directories to UTF-8
|
||
|
|
which are already partly UTF-8 encoded. convmv is able to detect if certain
|
||
|
|
files are UTF-8 encoded and will skip them by default. To turn this smartness
|
||
|
|
off use the --nosmart switch.
