lv (pager, grep, and iconv replacement)
|
|
|
|
lv is a powerful file viewer like less. lv can decode and encode
|
|
multilingual streams in many encodings, including ISO-8859, ISO-2022,
|
|
EUC, SJIS, Big5, HZ, and Unicode. It recognizes multi-byte patterns
|
|
in regular expressions, and can be run as "lgrep" to act as a grep
|
|
replacement. In addition, lv can recognize ANSI escape sequences for
|
|
text decoration (making it suitable for use as MANPAGER).
|
|
|
|
lv can also be used as a replacement for iconv(1), by redirecting
|
|
its standard output and using the -I and -O options to set the input
|
|
and output encodings. Although it doesn't support all the features of
|
|
iconv, lv will autodetect the input encoding (which iconv won't).
|
|
|
|
lv also has one (possibly) unique feature: It can autodetect and
|
|
convert or display multiple character encodings *within the same
|
|
document*.
