NAME
       Ansifilter - ANSI escape code processor and converter

SYNOPSIS
       ansifilter [d:i:F:o:s:e:fhptvHRT] [-i input file] [-o output file]
       [--text] [--html] [--latex] [--tex] [--rtf] [input files]

DESCRIPTION
       Ansifilter is a small utility to handle text files containing ANSI
       terminal escape codes. The command sequences may be stripped or be
       interpreted to generate formatted output (HTML, LaTeX, TeX, RTF).

       See the README file for details.

       -O, --outdir=<dir>
              name of output directory

       -t, --tail
              Continue reading after end-of-file (like tail -f). Use system
              tail if available.

       -e, --encoding=<enc>

       for  in- or output.  Plain text will be generated, if no output format
       is given.

       File conversions:
