mactoiso(1)                                           mactoiso(1)



NAME
     mactoiso, isotomac - convert between Macintosh encoding  and
     International Standards Organization (ISO) encoding

SYNOPSIS
     mactoiso [-c char] [file]

     isotomac [-c char] [file]

ARGUMENTS
     -c char
          Specifies the use of a character other than the default
          (blank).

     file Specifies a file from which input is to be read.

DESCRIPTION
     mactoiso reads, from the file specified by the optional file
     argument, or from standard input, characters encoded
     according to the Macintosh character set, converts them to
     the ISO 8859-1 character-set-encoding scheme, and writes
     them to standard output.

     isotomac reads characters from the ISO character set as
     input, converts them to the Macintosh character set, and
     writes them to standard output.

     Each character set contains characters that are not
     represented in the other character set.  By default, the
     isotomac and mactoiso commands place a blank character in
     place of any character that is not represented in the
     character set to which they are converting the file.

STATUS MESSAGES AND VALUES
     The exit status is 0 upon successful completion, and 1 for a
     usage error.
