The uconv command is an iconv(1)-like conversion / transcoding program. Please check its manual page, or run uconv -h, for help. Help, as well as error messages, are displayed through the use of a resource bundle. Please contact Steven Loomis if you want to offer a translation of these messages for a particular locale. uconv was originally written and contributed to icuapps by Jonas Utterström , and offered simple conversion and a way to know which encodings were available. It has since then be moved to the main ICU distribution and converted to the C conversion API, and is maintained by Yves Arrouye who seems to always be looking for one more feature or option to add to the tool.
