# to8

convert files to utf-8

## Install

`go get jw4.us/to8`

## Usage

By default this utility will process all named file arguments.

If no names are given, it will find all the regular files in the current directory.

If the Content-Type is determined to be `text/*` (or if `-force` is specified), a new file will be created with a suffix of `.to8` and the utility will copy the contents of the file to the new file after converting the charset to UTF-8.  After the copy is done (and if `-dry` is not specified), the new file will be copied over the original file, preserving the file mode bits.

```

  Usage of to8:

    -dir string

        directory to convert (default ".")

    -dry

        perform dry run only

    -exclude string

        comma separated directories to exclude (in recurse only) (default ".git,.hg,.svn")

    -force

        convert all files regardless of content-type

    -recurse

        find files recursively

    -verbose

        verbose progress logging

```
