LPIC-1 Exam 102 v5 (Linux Administrator) — Question 94

What is the purpose of the iconv command?

Answer options

• A. It converts bitmap images from one format to another such as PNG to JPEG.
• B. It verifies that the root directory tree compiles to all conventions from the Filesystem Hierarchy Standard (FHS).
• C. It converts files from one character set to an other.
• D. It changes the mode of an inode in the ext4 filesystem.
• E. It displays additional meta information from icon files ending in .ico.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because the iconv command is specifically designed for converting files between different character sets. Options A, B, D, and E describe functionalities that are not related to iconv; they pertain to image conversion, file system verification, inode mode changes, and icon metadata display, respectively.
