.Sh NAME
.Nm inline-detox
.Nd clean up filenames (stream-based)
.Sh SYNOPSIS
.Nm
.Op Fl hnLrv
.Op Fl s Ar sequence
.Op Fl f Ar configfile
.Ar
.Sh DESCRIPTION
The
.Nm
utility can remove spaces and other such annoyances from streams.
It'll also translate or cleanup Latin-1 (ISO 8859-1) characters encoded
in 8-bit ASCII, Unicode characters encoded in UTF-8, and CGI escaped characters.
Basically it's detox, but does not operate on files.
.Ss Sequences
.Nm
is driven by a configurable series of filters, called a sequence.
Sequences are covered in more detail in
.Xr detoxrc 5
and are discoverable with the
.Fl L
option. Some examples of default sequences are
.Cm iso8859_1
and
.Cm utf_8 .
.Ss Options
The main options:
.Bl -tag -width Fl
.It Fl f Ar configfile
Use
.Ar configfile
instead of the default configuration files for loading translation
sequences. No other config file will be parsed.
.It Fl h -help
Display helpful information.
.It Fl L
List the currently available sequences. When paired with
.Fl v
this option shows what filters are used in each sequence and any
properties applied to the filters.
.It Fl r
Recurse into subdirectories.
.It Fl s Ar sequence
Use
.Ar sequence
instead of default.
.It Fl v
Be verbose about which files are being renamed.
.It Fl V
Show the current version of
.Nm .
.El
.Ss Deprecated Options
Deprecated Options are options that were available in earlier versions
of
.Nm
but have lost their meaning and are being phased out.
.Bl -tag -width Fl
.It Fl -remove-trailing
Removes _ and - after .'s in filenames. This was first provided in
the 0.9 series of
.Nm .
After the introduction of sequences, it lost its meaning, as you could
now determine the properties of wipeup through a particular sequence's
configuration. It presently forces all instances of the wipeup filter
to use remove trailing, regardless of what's actually in the config
files.
.El
.Sh FILES
.Bl -tag -width iso8859_1.tbl -compact
.It Pa detoxrc
The system-wide detoxrc file.
.It Pa ~/.detoxrc
A user's personal detoxrc. Normally it extends the system-wide
detoxrc, unless
.Fl f
has been specified, in which case, it is ignored.
.It Pa iso8859_1.tbl
The default ISO 8859-1 translation table.
.It Pa unicode.tbl
The default Unicode (UTF-8) translation table.
.El
.Sh EXAMPLES
.Bl -tag -width Fl
.It echo "Foo Bar" | Nm Fl s Ar iso8859_1 Fl v
Will run the sequence
.Ar iso8859_1
listing any changes and returning the result to STDOUT.

.Sh HISTORY
detox
was originally designed to clean up files that I had received from
friends which had been created using other operating systems. It's
trivial to create a filename with spaces, parenthesis, brackets, and
ampersands under some operating systems. These have special meaning
within FreeBSD and Linux, and cause problems when you go to access
them. I created
.Nm
to clean up these files.
.Sh AUTHORS
.Nm

.An "Doug Harple" .
.Sh BUGS
.Pp
Long options don't work under Solaris or Darwin.
.Pp
An error in the config file will cause a segfault as it's going to
print the offending word within the config file.
