NAME
       native2ascii - native to ASCII converter

SYNOPSIS
       nnaattiivvee22aasscciiii [ options ]
            [ inputfile [outputfile]]

DESCRIPTION
       The Java compiler and other Java tools can only process files that con-
       tain  Latin-1  or   Unicode-encoded   (\udddd   notation)   characters.
       nnaattiivvee22aasscciiii  converts files that contain other character encoding into
       files containing Latin-1 or Unicode-encoded charaters.

       If outputfile is omitted, standard output is used for output.  In addi-
       tion, if inputfile is omitted, standard input is used for input.

OOPPTTIIOONNSS
       The following options are supported:

       -eennccooddiinngg encodingname
            Specifies  the encoding name that is used by the conversion proce-
            dure.   The  default  encoding  is  taken  from  system   property
            ffiillee..eennccooddiinngg.   The  encodingname  string must be one taken from
            the first column of the table of supported encodings in  the  Sup-
            ported Encodings document:

            http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5/docs/guide/intl/encoding.doc.html

       -rreevveerrssee
            Performs  the  reverse  operation: converts a file with Latin-1 or
            Unicode-encoded characters to one with native-encoded  characters.

       -JJoption       Pass option to the Java virtual machine, where option is
                      one of the options described on the  man  page  for  the
                      java  application  launcher,  java(1).  For example, -JJ-
                      XXmmss4488mm sets the startup memory to 48 megabytes. It is  a
                      common convention for -JJ to pass options to the underly-
                      ing virtual machine.
