.SH DESCRIPTION
.I Tcs
converts its input from the
.I ics
character set encoding into Unicode runes and then outputs the data in the
encoding of the
.I ocs
character set.
The default values of
.I ics
and
.I ocs
are both
.BR utf8 .
This is the standard Inferno Unicode text encoding as described by
.IR utf (6).
If no files are specified
.I tcs
reads from its standard input.
.PP
The
.B -l
option causes
.I tcs
to output the list of character sets that it understands.
The
.B -v
option causes a more detailed listing to be given.
Giving a
.I csname
argument to the
.B -l
option causes
.I tcs
to list the known aliases for that name.
The first name in the list is the standard (or preferred) name.
