DESCRIPTION

idnconv converts the codeset or encoding of given text, if

applicable. You can change the conversion with different

options. idnconv reads from file or standard input and

writes the results to standard output. When more than one IDN names or labels are supplied as input, such names or labels can be delimitered by using

white-space characters of the POSIX locale or the label

separators defined in the RFC 3490.

The main use for idnconv is to convert Internationalized

Domain Names in one codeset or encoding to another codeset

or encoding. For instance, you can use the utility to con-

vert IDN names in UTF-8 codeset to ASCII Compatible Encoding

(ACE) encoded IDN names in 7-bit ASCII. For any other

codeset conversion purposes, use iconv(1) instead. OPTIONS The following options are supported:

-a | --asciicheck | --ascii-check

During IDN conversion process, enforce ASCII character range checks. This is identical to setting the UseSTD3ASCIIRules flag described in RFC 3490. For more details on the ASCII

character range checks, refer to idn_decodename(3EXT)

and RFC 3490. This is the default.

User Commands idnconv(1)

-A | --noasciicheck | --no-ascii-check

During IDN conversion process, do not perform ASCII character range checks. This is identical to unsetting the UseSTD3ASCIIRules flag described in RFC 3490. For more details on the ASCII character range checks, refer to

idn_decodename(3EXT) and RFC 3490.

-b | --bidicheck | --bidi-check

During IDN conversion process, enforce checkings on bidirectional strings as specified in RFC 3491 and RFC 3454. This is the default.

-B | --nobidicheck | --no-bidi-check

During IDN conversion process, do not perform checkings on bidirectional strings which is specified in RFC 3491 and RFC 3454.

-h | --help

Print information about the utility and the options it supports. All other options and operands if any are ignored.

-i in-code| --in in-code| -f in-code | --from in-code

Identify the input codeset with the in-code argument.

All iconv code conversion names that can be converted to

UTF-8 can be used as the value of the in-code. If not

supplied, the current locale's codeset is assumed as the

codeset of the input. The utility also checks each indi-

vidual name in the actual input and if the name is in

ACE, the ACE is assumed as the in-code for the name.

-l | --lengthcheck | --length-check

During IDN conversion process, enforce label length check.

See idn_decodename(3EXT) and RFC 3490. This ensures that

SunOS 5.11 Last change: 21 Jun 2004 2

User Commands idnconv(1)

the length of each label is in the range of 1 to 63. This is the default.

-L | --nolengthcheck | --no-length-check

During IDN conversion process, do not perform label length check.

See idn_decodename(3EXT) and RFC 3490.

-n | --nameprep

During IDN conversion process, enforce Nameprep step as specified in the RFC 3490, RFC 3491, and RFC 3454. This is the default.

-N | --nonameprep | --no-nameprep

During IDN conversion process, do not perform Nameprep step. For more details on the Nameprep, refer to

idn_decodename(3EXT), RFC 3490, RFC 3491, and RFC 3454.

-o out-code | --out out-code | --t out-code | --to out-code

Identify the output codeset with the out-code argument.

All iconv code conversion names that can be converted to

UTF-8 can be used as the value of the out-code. If not

supplied, the current locale's codeset is assumed as the

codeset of the output; if the in-code is ACE, then, the

utility tries to convert names from actual input to

non-ACE IDN names in the output codeset.

-u | --unassigncheck | --unassign-check

During IDN conversion process, enforce unassigned char-

acter checking. This is identical to unsetting the AllowUnassigned flag described in the RFC 3490. This option is useful when the IDN names are converted for storing purpose or to give the names to server machines. For more details on the unassigned character checking, refer to RFC 3490, RFC 3491, and RFC 3454. This is the default.

User Commands idnconv(1)

-U | --nounassigncheck | --no-unassign-check

During IDN conversion process, do not perform unassigned character checking. This is identical to setting the AllowUnassigned flag described in the RFC 3490. This option is useful when the IDN names are converted for the query purpose. For more details on the unassigned character checking, refer to RFC 3490, RFC 3491, and RFC 3454.

-v | --version

Prints information about the utility's name, version, and legal status. All other options and operands if any are ignored. OPERANDS The following operands are supported: file A path name of the input file to be converted. If file is omitted, the standard input is used.

EXAMPLES

Example 1 Converting IDN Names The following example converts IDN names. It reads names in the current locale's codeset from standard input. It converts and writes the converted results to results.txt file. If the names given to the utility are in

ACE, the results are non-ACE IDN names in the current

locale's codeset. If the names given to the utility are in

non-ACE IDN names, the results are IDN names in ACE.

example% idnconv > results.txt

Example 2 Converting an ACE Encoded IDN Name The following example converts an ACE encoded IDN name into

an IDN name in UTF-8.

It reads xn--1lq90i which is in ACE encoding from standard

input. It writes the converted results to file Beijing-UTF-

8.txt. The file contains Beijing in two Chinese letters in

UTF-8 codeset.

example% idnconv -t UTF-8 > Beijing-UTF-8.txt

xn--1lq90i

CTRLd

Example 3 Converting Names in KOI8-R Cyrillic Single Byte

Codeset

The following example converts names in KOI8-R Cyrillic sin-

gle byte codeset to ACE encoded names.

It reads from file inputfile.txt which is in KOI8-R. It

writes the converted results to standard output. The results are in ACE encoding.

example% idnconv --in KOI8-R --out ACE inputfile.txt

xn--80adxhks

xn--90aqflb3d1a

xn--80aesccdb4a2a8c

example%

Example 4 Converting Names for Storing Purpose The following example converts names for storing purposes.

It reads from file inputfile.txt that is in ISO8859-1. It

converts and writes the results to the outputfile.txt in ACE. It also yields ACE names that are good to be used as server names.

example% idnconv --from ISO8859-1 --to ACE --unassign-check\

inputfile.txt > outputfile.txt

Example 5 Converting Names for Query Purposes The following example converts names for query purposes. It reads from standard input in the current locale's codeset. It converts and writes the results to the outputfile.txt in ACE:

example% idnconv -U -t ACE > outputfile.txt
