53: <p>The <b>iconv</b> program converts text from one encoding
54: to another encoding. More precisely, it converts <b>from</b>
55: the encoding given for the <b>−f</b> option <b>to</b>
56: the encoding given for the <b>−t</b> option. Either of
57: these encodings defaults to the encoding of the current
58: locale. All the <i>inputfile</i>s are read and converted in
59: turn; if no <i>inputfile</i> is given, the standard input is
60: used. The converted text is printed to standard output.</p>
61: <!-- INDENTATION -->
62: <p>The encodings permitted are system dependent. For the
63: libiconv implementation, they are listed in the
