Bug#340911: catch iconv -t ... -t ...



Package: libc6
Version: 2.3.5-7
Severity: minor
File: /usr/bin/iconv

I noticed that
iconv -f utf-8 -t gb2312 -t big5
does not cause an error.

If it is a short cut for
iconv -f utf-8 -t gb2312 | iconv -f gb2312 -t big5
then document it, else catch multiple -t and -f's.

Maybe even catch
iconv -f utf-8 -t utf-8

P.S., on the man page,
SYNOPSIS
       iconv -f encoding -t encoding inputfile
should be
       iconv -f encoding -t encoding [inputfile ...]
or     iconv -f encoding -t encoding [inputfiles ...]
