6.2.1 Encoding Map File
-----------------------

Note: Map Files, for a description of the map files.

   The meaningful lines of the 'encoding.map' file have the form:
     ALIAS      KEY
     iso-8859-1 latin1
     latin1     latin1
     l1         latin1

where
ALIAS
     specifies any name under which the encoding may be used.  It
     influences the option '--encoding', but also the encodings
     dynamically required, as for instance in the 'mail' style sheet
     (support for MIME).

     When ENCODING is asked, the lower case version of ENCODING must be
     equal to ALIAS.

KEY
     specifies the prefix of the file describing the encoding
     ('KEY.edf', Note: Encoding Description Files).
