.TH "A8UTF8" 1 "2024-05-03" "0.2.1" "Urchlay's Atari 8-bit Tools"
.SH NAME
a8utf8 \- Convert Atari 8-bit text to UTF-8 encoded Unicode.
.\" RST source for a8utf8(1) man page. Convert with:
.
.\" rst2man.py a8utf8.rst > a8utf8.1
.
.\" rst2man.py comes from the SBo development/docutils package.
.
.SH SYNOPSIS
.sp
\fIa8utf8\fP [\fB\-r\fP] [\fB\-i\fP] [\fIinfile\fP] [\fIinfile ...\fP]
.sp
\fIa8utf8\fP [\fB\-r\fP] [\fB\-i\fP] \fB\-t\fP
.SH DESCRIPTION
.sp
Convert Atari 8\-bit ATASCII or XL ICS (International Character
Set) text to UTF\-8 encoded Unicode. Control graphics characters are
replaced with their nearest Unicode equivalents (mostly from the Box
Drawing block, or from the Basic Latin block with \fB\-i\fP option).
.sp
If no \fIinfile\fP is given, input is read from standard input. Output always
goes to standard output; to write to a file, use a command like:
.INDENT 0.0
.INDENT 3.5
.sp
.nf
.ft C
a8utf8 atari.txt > converted.txt
.ft P
.fi
.UNINDENT
.UNINDENT
.sp
The output is plain UTF\-8 Unicode, without BOM.
.sp
Inverse video (characters codes above \fB$80\fP) are translated to
their non\-inverse equivalents, except \fB$9B\fP (Atari EOL), which is
translated to \fB\en\fP (newline).
.SH OPTIONS
.INDENT 0.0
.TP
.B  \-i
Input uses Atari XL/XE International Character Set encoding, rather than
ATASCII graphics.
.TP
.B  \-t
Print table of Atari to Unicode equivalents, in CSV format. Can
be used with or without \fB\-i\fP and/or \fB\-r\fP (four different tables).
.TP
.B  \-r
Reverse conversion: Input is UTF\-8, output is ATASCII (or XL ICS, with \fB\-i\fP).
Beware that printing ATASCII to a terminal may look funny, and may even confuse
the terminal. Redirecting to a file is safe.
