Problem

How to use the isutf8 command: Check whether text files contain valid UTF-8. More information: <https://manned.org/isutf8>.

Solution

isutf8 — Check whether text files contain valid UTF-8. More information: <https://manned.org/isutf8>.

Check whether the specified files contain valid UTF-8:
isutf8 {{path/to/file1 path/to/file2 ...}}


Print errors using multiple lines:
isutf8 {{[-v|--verbose]}} {{path/to/file1 path/to/file2 ...}}


Do not print anything to stdout, indicate the result merely with the exit code:
isutf8 {{[-q|--quiet]}} {{path/to/file1 path/to/file2 ...}}


Only print the names of the files containing invalid UTF-8:
isutf8 {{[-l|--list]}} {{path/to/file1 path/to/file2 ...}}


Same as --list but inverted, i.e., only print the names of the files containing valid UTF-8:
isutf8 {{[-i|--invert]}} {{path/to/file1 path/to/file2 ...}}
