convert files to utf-8

Install

go get jw4.us/to8

Usage

By default this utility will process all named file arguments.

If no names are given, it will find all the regular files in the current directory.

If the Content-Type is determined to be text/* (or if -force is specified), a new file will be created with a suffix of .to8 and the utility will copy the contents of the file to the new file after converting the charset to UTF-8. After the copy is done (and if -dry is not specified), the new file will be copied over the original file, preserving the file mode bits.

  Usage of to8:
    -dir string
        directory to convert (default ".")
    -dry
        perform dry run only
    -exclude string
        comma separated directories to exclude (in recurse only) (default ".git,.hg,.svn")
    -force
        convert all files regardless of content-type
    -recurse
        find files recursively
    -verbose
        verbose progress logging
