NAME

       inline-detox — clean up filenames (stream-based)

SYNOPSIS

       inline-detox [-hnLrv] [-s sequence] [-f configfile] file ...

DESCRIPTION

       The  inline-detox 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.

   Sequences
       inline-detox  is driven by a configurable series of filters, called a sequence.  Sequences are covered in
       more detail in detoxrc(5) and are discoverable with the -L option.  Some examples  of  default  sequences
       are iso8859_1 and utf_8.

   Options
       The main options:

       -f configfile
                   Use  configfile instead of the default configuration files for loading translation sequences.
                   No other config file will be parsed.

       -h --help   Display helpful information.

       -L          List the currently available sequences.  When paired with -v this option shows  what  filters
                   are used in each sequence and any properties applied to the filters.

       -r          Recurse into subdirectories.

       -s sequence
                   Use sequence instead of default.

       -v          Be verbose about which files are being renamed.

       -V          Show the current version of inline-detox.

   Deprecated Options
       Deprecated  Options  are  options  that  were available in earlier versions of inline-detox but have lost
       their meaning and are being phased out.

       --remove-trailing
                   Removes _ and - after .'s in filenames.  This  was  first  provided  in  the  0.9  series  of
                   inline-detox.   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.

FILES

       detoxrc        The system-wide detoxrc file.
       ~/.detoxrc     A user's personal detoxrc.  Normally it extends the system-wide  detoxrc,  unless  -f  has
                      been specified, in which case, it is ignored.
       iso8859_1.tbl  The default ISO 8859-1 translation table.
       unicode.tbl    The default Unicode (UTF-8) translation table.

EXAMPLES

       echo Foo Bar | inline-detox -s iso8859_1 -v
                   Will run the sequence iso8859_1 listing any changes and returning the result to STDOUT.

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 inline-detox to clean up these files.

BUGS

       Long options don't work under Solaris or Darwin.

       An  error  in  the config file will cause a segfault as it's going to print the offending word within the
       config file.
