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.

Produce JSON from ABKT type-1 or type-2.
