NAME
       sutf - convert encoding of text files

SYNOPSIS
       sutf [OPTIONS...] [INPUTFILES...]

DESCRIPTION
       sutf converts the encoding of text files from one encoding to another
       using the high-performance simdutf library for supported formats. For
       unsupported formats, it falls back to iconv if available.

OPTIONS
       -f, --from-code=ENCODING
              Encoding of source text (mandatory).

       -t, --to-code=ENCODING
              Encoding of output (mandatory).

       -o, --output=FILE
              Output file. If not specified, output goes to standard output.

       -h, --help
              Display help text and exit.

       -u, --usage
              Display short usage message and exit.

       -l, --list
              Display supported formats and exit.

SUPPORTED FORMATS
       Formats supported by simdutf library: UTF-8, UTF-16LE, UTF-16BE,
       UTF-32LE

       If iconv is available, additional formats supported by iconv are also
       available.

EXAMPLES
       Convert UTF-16LE file to UTF-8:
              sutf -f UTF-16LE -t UTF-8 input.txt

       Convert multiple files and save to output file:
              sutf -f UTF-8 -t UTF-16BE -o output.txt file1.txt file2.txt

       List supported formats:
