Gutf

Gutf is a terminal tool that converts file encodings.

This tool will convert files from and into a variety of encodings (see the supported encodings section), but please try to use it responsibly and always convert you files into UTF-8. If by any event you need to convert your text files into something different than UTF-8, don't worry, Guft will help you do those unholy convertions.

Different from iconv, gutf works with huge files as it does not load the whole file into memory.

Usage

gutf [input] [encoding] [output] [encoding]
