12## Description
13
14The rux is a simple and at the same time powerful utility for texts recoding
15from one encoding to another. At present time several the most popular Cyrillic
16code pages such as koi8-r, cp866, cp1251, iso8859-5 and mac-cyrillic are
17supported. Also rux gives the opportunity to recode box- drawing characters,
18which exists in some Cyrillic code pages, to replace them by their non-graphic
19analogues ('-', '+', etc.).
20
21Besides, the rux can detect a code page of the input files automatically.
22
23Usually rux is used without any options because some values are accepted by
24default. There are -o utf-8, -e, -t.
25
26The expectancy value of the presence of every Cyrillic characters in the some
27text were taken from the dump of Russian translation of the "FreeBSD Handbook".
