Hello!
Nowhere anymore? Iirc it was documented some time ago, at least I
found this in my mail folder, probably snipped from an older version
of the manpage or the one from libiconv:
[iconv_open(3)]
When the string "//TRANSLIT" is appended to tocode,
transliteration is activated. This means that when a char-
acter cannot be represented in the target character set,
it can be approximated through one or several similarly
looking characters.
BTW tin uses TRANSLIT, too. Be aware that it is a libiconv/glibc
extension and is not in SUSv2/SUSv3. Iff Debian/*BSD does not use
glibc or libiconv it won't work for them.
