Description : converts filenames from one encoding to another
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.
It's already packaged, I'am looking for a Sponsor :)
