gromox-abktconv¶

Name¶

gromox-abktconv — Utility for converting between ABKT and JSON

Synopsis¶

gromox-abktconv {-b|-j} [-gw?] [-c cpid]

Description¶

gromox-abktconv can be used to convert between data streams as specified in MS-OXOABKT and a textual representation. It reads and writes to standard input and output, respectively.

Options¶

-b: Produce type-1 ABKT from JSON.
-c cpid: When converting to ABKT (-b), convert strings to the given codepage and emit them as 8-bit strings.
-g: When converting to ABKT (-b), emit extraneous gaps in the data stream to mimic what Exchange would do. Without -g, the ABKT stream will have no unnecessary gaps.
-j: Produce JSON from ABKT type-1 or type-2.
-w: When converting to ABKT (-b), emit strings in UTF-16 form. This is the default.
-?: Display option summary.
