isutf8

Check whether text files contain valid UTF-8. More information: https://joeyh.name/code/moreutils/.

• Check whether the specified files contain valid UTF-8:

isutf8 {{path/to/file1 path/to/file2 ...}}

• Print errors using multiple lines:

isutf8 --verbose {{path/to/file1 path/to/file2 ...}}

• Do not print anything to stdout, indicate the result merely with the exit code:

isutf8 --quiet {{path/to/file1 path/to/file2 ...}}

• Only print the names of the files containing invalid UTF-8:

isutf8 --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 --invert {{path/to/file1 path/to/file2 ...}}
