The whole point of unicode is that you cannot autodetect the encoding of a |
| 7 |
filename (or file). With unicode you can use one encoding for everything and |
| 8 |
hence you don't have to autodetect it.... You can use app-text/convmv to |
| 9 |
convert your file names between two different encodings. If you run it |
| 10 |
without the --notest parameter it will only show you what would happen if you |
| 11 |
make said conversion. By inspecting the output of that you should be able to |
| 12 |
figure it out but I don't think there is any automatic way of doing it... |
