+.
+.I preconv
+reads each
+.IR file ,
+converts its encoded characters to a form
+.MR @g@troff @MAN1EXT@
+can interpret,
+and sends the result to the standard output stream.
+.
+Currently,
+this means that code points in the range 0\[en]127
+(in US-ASCII,
+ISO\~8859,
+or Unicode)
+remain as-is and the remainder are converted to the
+.I groff
+special character form
+.RB \[lq] \[rs][\c
+.BI u XXXX ]\c
+\[rq],
+where
+.I XXXX
+is a hexadecimal number of four to six digits corresponding to a Unicode
+code point.
+.
+By default,
+.I preconv
+also inserts a
+.I roff
+.B .lf
+request at the beginning of each
+.IR file ,
+identifying it for the benefit of later processing
+(including diagnostic messages);
+the
+.B \-r
+option suppresses this behavior.
+.
+.
+.PP
+In typical usage scenarios,
+.I preconv
+need not be run directly;
+instead it should be invoked with the
+.B \-k
+or
+.B \-K
+options of
+.IR groff .
+.
+If no
+.I file
+operands are given on the command line,
+or if
+.I file
+is
+.RB \[lq] \- \[rq],
+the standard input stream is read.
+.
+.
+.PP
+.I preconv
+tries to find the input encoding with the following algorithm,
+stopping at the first success.
+.
+.
+.IP 1. 4n
+If the input encoding has been explicitly specified with option
+.BR \-e ,
+use it.
+.
+.
+.IP 2.
+If the input starts with a Unicode Byte Order Mark,
+determine the encoding as UTF-8,
+UTF-16,
+or UTF-32 accordingly.
+.
+.
+.IP 3.
+If the input stream is seekable,
+check the first and second input lines for a recognized GNU\~Emacs
+file-local variable identifying the character encoding,
+here referred to as the \[lq]coding tag\[rq] for brevity.
+.
+If found,
+use it.
+.
+.
+.IP 4.
+If the input stream is seekable,
+and if the
+.I uchardet
+library is available on the system,
+use it to try to infer the encoding of the file.
+.
+.
+.IP 5.
+If the
+.B \-D
+option specifies an encoding,
+use it.
+.
+.
+.IP 6.
+Use the encoding specified by the current locale
+.RI ( LC_CTYPE ),
+unless the locale is
+\[lq]C\[rq],
+\[lq]POSIX\[rq],
+or empty,
+in which case assume Latin-1
+(ISO\~8859-1).
+.
+.
+.PP
+The coding tag and
+.I uchardet
+methods in the above procedure rely upon a seekable input stream;
+when
+.I preconv
+reads from a pipe,
+the stream is not seekable,
+and these detection methods are skipped.
+.
+If character encoding detection of your input files is unreliable,
+arrange for one of the other methods to succeed by using
+.IR preconv 's
+.B \-D
+or
+.B \-e
+options,
+or by configuring your locale appropriately.
+.
+.I groff
+also supports a
+.I \%GROFF_ENCODING
+environment variable,
+which can be overridden by its
+.B \-K
+option.
+.
+Valid values for
+(or parameters to)
+all of these are enumerated in the lists of recognized coding tags in
+the next subsection,
+and are further influenced by
+.I iconv
+library support.
+.
+.
+.\" ====================================================================
+.SS "Coding tags"
+.\" ====================================================================
+.
+Text editors that support more than a single character encoding need
+tags within the input files to mark the file's encoding.
+.
+While it is possible to guess the right input encoding with the help of
+heuristics that are reliable for a preponderance of natural language
+texts,
+they are not absolutely reliable.
+.
+Heuristics can fail on inputs that are too short or don't represent a
+natural language.
+.
+.
+.PP
+Consequently,
+.I preconv
+supports the coding tag convention used by GNU\~Emacs
+(with some restrictions).
+.
+This notation appears in specially marked regions of an input file
+designated for \[lq]file-local variables\[rq].
+.
+.
+.PP
+.I preconv
+interprets the following syntax if it occurs in a
+.I roff
+comment
+in the first or second line of the input file.
+.
+Both \[lq]\[rs]"\[rq] and \[lq]\[rs]#\[rq] comment forms are recognized,
+but the control
+(or no-break control)
+character must be the default and must begin the line.
+.
+Similarly,
+the escape character must be the default.

+.
+While
+.I preconv
+recognizes all of the coding tags listed above,
+it is capable on its own of interpreting only three encodings:
+Latin-1,
+code page 1047,
+and UTF-8.
+.
+If
+.I iconv
+support is configured at compile time and available at run time,
+all others are passed to
+.I iconv
+library functions,
+which may recognize many additional encoding strings.
+.
+The command
+.RB \[lq] preconv\~\-v \[rq]
+discloses whether
+.I iconv
+support is configured.
+.
+.
+.PP
+The use of
+.I iconv
+means that characters in the input that encode invalid code points for
+that encoding may be dropped from the output stream or mapped to the
+Unicode replacement character
+(U+FFFD).
+.
+Compare the following examples using the input \[lq]caf\['e]\[rq]
+(note the \[lq]e\[rq] with an acute accent),
+which due to its short length challenges inference of the encoding used.
+.

+printf \[aq]caf\[rs]351\[rs]n\[aq] | preconv \-e latin\-1
+.EE
+.RE
+.
+The fate of the accented \[lq]e\[rq] differs in each case.
+.
+In the first,
+.I uchardet
+fails to detect an encoding
+(though the library on your system may behave differently)
+and
+.I preconv
+falls back to the locale settings,
+where octal 351 starts an incomplete UTF-8 sequence and results in the
+Unicode replacement character.
+.
+In the second,
+it is not a representable character in the declared input encoding of
+US-ASCII and is discarded by
+.IR iconv .
+.
+In the last,
+it is correctly detected and mapped.
+.
+.
