--- Begin Message ---Package: bsdmainutils Version: 8.2.2 Severity: wishlist col man page says: All unrecognized control characters and escape sequences are discarded. Good. The col utility keeps track of the character set as characters are read and makes sure the character set is correct when they are output. But when it is not happy, one gets just col: Invalid or incomplete multibyte or wide character with no way to override it. The program just quits with no output. Why can't there be like iconv(1) -c Omit invalid characters from output.
