iconv: List supported encodings.
$ iconv -l
try on your machine
The command "iconv -l" is used to list all the available character encodings supported by the "iconv" program.
The "iconv" program is a command-line tool in Unix-like operating systems that performs character encoding conversions. It can convert text from one character encoding to another, such as from UTF-8 to ASCII or vice versa.
When you run the "iconv -l" command, it displays a comprehensive list of all the character encodings that are supported by the "iconv" program. This list includes encodings like UTF-8, ASCII, ISO-8859-1, UTF-16, etc.
By examining this list, you can determine which encodings are available for conversion and choose the appropriate encoding for your specific use case.
