gedit: Display a list of supported encodings.
$ gedit --list-encodings
try on your machine

The command "gedit --list-encodings" is used to list all the available text encodings in gedit, which is a popular text editor in Linux.

When you run this command in the terminal, it launches gedit and displays a window that lists all the supported text encodings. Text encoding refers to the method of representing characters in digital form. Different encodings are used to support various character sets and languages.

By using this command, you can see all the encodings available in gedit, allowing you to choose the appropriate encoding when working with text files that have different character sets.
