convmv is meant to help convert a single filename, a directory tree and the
contained files or a whole filesystem into a different encoding. It just
converts the filenames, not the content of the files. A special feature of
convmv is that it also takes care of symlinks, also converts the symlink target
pointer in case the symlink target is being converted, too.
All this comes in very handy when one wants to switch over from old 8-bit
locales to UTF-8 locales. It is also possible to convert directories to UTF-8
which are already partly UTF-8 encoded. convmv is able to detect if certain
files are UTF-8 encoded and will skip them by default. To turn this smartness
off use the --nosmart switch.
The suite of utilities known as DosUnix provide a selection of features
allowing manipulation of text files in a mixed DOS/Windows and Unix
environment.
The three utilities are:
- dosunix, which creates a copy of a DOS text file in Unix text format;
- unixdos, which creates a copy of a Unix text file in DOS text format;
- chktxt, which inspects a given text file to determine whether it is in
DOS text format or Unix text format.
LaTeXML is a TeX and LaTeX to XML/HTML/MathML converter. From XML it
can generate various flavors of HTML. MathML and ePub, with other
formats under development.
See the included manual.pdf for an documentation.
dumpasn1 is an ASN.1 parser which dumps the contents of an ASN.1-encoded
file, as well as interpreting the OIDs contained in the file into
human-readable format. Dumpasn1 is intended for examining the contents
of PKI certificates and comes with a full list of security-related OIDs,
but can be easily extended to parse other OIDs as well.
Babel is a charset encoding/decoding library, not unlike GNU libiconv,
but completely written in Common Lisp.
This package is compiled with SBCL.

Enca currently can determine 8bit charsets of Belarussian, Czech, Polish,
Russian, Slovak and Ukrainian texts and also some multibyte encodings,
independently on language (provided it's some European language).

As well as being a work-alike for the BSDI utility mentioned in the
doscmd man page, dos2bsd (and bsd2dos), fconv supports conversion to
and from Macintosh type files (which use only '\r').
Utility to convert text files from any operating system to Unix format,
and to convert Unix files to DOS format.
