+.SH NAME
+iconvconfig \- create iconv module configuration cache
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.B iconvconfig
+.RI [ options ]
+.RI [ directory ]...
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+The
+.BR iconv (3)
+function internally uses
+.I gconv
+modules to convert to and from a character set.
+A configuration file is used to determine the needed modules
+for a conversion.
+Loading and parsing such a configuration file would slow down
+programs that use
+.BR iconv (3),
+so a caching mechanism is employed.
+.P
+The
+.B iconvconfig
+program reads iconv module configuration files and writes
+a fast-loading gconv module configuration cache file.
+.P
+In addition to the system provided gconv modules, the user can specify
+custom gconv module directories with the environment variable
+.BR GCONV_PATH .
+However, iconv module configuration caching is used only when
+the environment variable
+.B GCONV_PATH
+is not set.
+.SH OPTIONS
+.TP
+.B "\-\-nostdlib"
+Do not search the system default gconv directory,
+only the directories provided on the command line.
+.TP
+.BI \-\-output= outputfile
+.TQ
+.BI \-o\~ outputfile
+Use
+.I outputfile
+for output instead of the system default cache location.
+.TP
+.BI \-\-prefix= pathname
+Set the prefix to be prepended to the system pathnames.
+See FILES, below.
+By default, the prefix is empty.
+Setting the prefix to
+.IR foo ,
+the gconv module configuration would be read from
+.I foo/usr/lib/gconv/gconv\-modules
+and the cache would be written to
+.IR foo/usr/lib/gconv/gconv\-modules.cache .
+.TP
+.B \-\-help
+.TQ
+.B \-?
+Print a usage summary and exit.
+.TP
+.B \-\-usage
+Print a short usage summary and exit.
+.TP
+.B \-\-version
+.TQ
+.B \-V
+Print the version number, license, and disclaimer of warranty for
+.BR iconv .
+.SH EXIT STATUS
+Zero on success, nonzero on errors.
+.SH FILES
+.TP
+.I /usr/lib/gconv
+Usual default gconv module path.
+.TP
+.I /usr/lib/gconv/gconv\-modules
+Usual system default gconv module configuration file.
+.TP
+.I /usr/lib/gconv/gconv\-modules.cache
+Usual system gconv module configuration cache.
+.P
+Depending on the architecture,
+the above files may instead be located at directories with the path prefix
+.IR /usr/lib64 .
