@kindex C-h C
@findex describe-coding-system
  The command @kbd{C-h C} (@code{describe-coding-system}) displays
information about particular coding systems.  You can specify a coding
system name as the argument; alternatively, with an empty argument, it
describes the coding systems currently selected for various purposes,
both in the current buffer and as the defaults, and the priority list
for recognizing coding systems (@pxref{Recognize Coding}).

list-coding-systems}.  The list gives information about each coding
system, including the letter that stands for it in the mode line
(@pxref{Mode Line}).

@cindex MS-DOS end-of-line conversion
@cindex Macintosh end-of-line conversion
  Each of the coding systems that appear in this list---except for
@code{no-conversion}, which means no conversion of any kind---specifies
how and whether to convert printing characters, but leaves the choice of

coding system using the minibuffer.  If you specify a coding system
that cannot handle all of the characters in the buffer, Emacs warns
you about the troublesome characters when you actually save the
buffer.

@kindex C-x RET c
@findex universal-coding-system-argument
  Another way to specify the coding system for a file is when you visit
the file.  First use the command @kbd{C-x @key{RET} c}

  The command @kbd{C-h C} (@code{describe-coding-system}) displays

@cindex specify end-of-line conversion
  You can also use this command to specify the end-of-line conversion
(@pxref{Coding Systems, end-of-line conversion}) for encoding the
current buffer.  For example, @kbd{C-x @key{RET} f dos @key{RET}} will
cause Emacs to save the current buffer's text with DOS-style CRLF line
endings.
