Introduction

In this tutorial we learn how to install teckit on Fedora 34.

What is `teckit`

TECkit is a low-level toolkit intended to be used by other applications that need to perform encoding conversions (e.g., when importing legacy data into a Unicode-based application). The primary component of the TECkit package is therefore a library that performs conversions; this is the “TECkit engine”. The engine relies on mapping tables in a specific binary format (for which documentation is available); there is a compiler that creates such tables from a human-readable mapping description (a simple text file). teckit 2.5.9 6.fc34 x86_64 463 k teckit-2.5.9-6.fc34.src.rpm fedora Conversion library and mapping compiler https (LGPLv2+ or CPL) and (LGPLv2+ or GPLv2+ or MPLv2.0 or MPLv1.1) TECkit is a low-level toolkit intended to be used by other applications that need to perform encoding conversions (e.g., when importing legacy data into a Unicode-based application).
