# -scs (Set charset for list files) switch

Sets charset for list files.

#### Syntax

    -scs{UTF-8 | UTF-16LE | UTF-16BE | WIN | DOS | {id} }

Default charset is UTF-8.

Value | Description
--- | ---
UTF-8 | Unicode UTF-8 character set.
UTF-16LE | Unicode UTF-16 little-endian character set.
UTF-16BE | Unicode UTF-16 big-endian character set.
WIN | Default character set of Windows.
DOS | Default DOS (OEM) character set of Windows.
{id} | The code page number (as specified in Microsoft Windows).
