NAME
       umap - map between different character sets

SYNOPSIS
        umap [options] <before>:<after>


DESCRIPTION
       The umap script acts as a filter between different encod-
       ings and character sets.

       The following options are recognized:

       --list [charset]
           Without argument list all character sets recognized.
           With a specified character set list the mapping
           between this set and Unicode.

       --strict
           Do the stict mapping between the character sets.  The
           default is to not translate unmapped character.  With
           --stict we will remove unmapped characters or use the
           default specified with --def8 or --def16.

       --def8=<charcode>
           Set the default 8-bit code for unmapped chars.

       --def16=<charcode>
           Set the default 16-bit code for unmapped chars.

       --verbose
           Generate more verbose output.

       --version
           Print the version number of this program and quit.

       --help
           Print the usage message.
