@samp{--no-} prefix. This might seem superfluous---if the default for
an affirmative option is to not do something, then why provide a way
to explicitly turn it off? But the startup file may in fact change

using @samp{--no-follow-ftp} is the only way to restore the factory
default from the command line.
cases, the local file will be @dfn{clobbered}, or overwritten, upon
repeated download. In other cases it will be preserved.

-downloading the same file in the same directory will result in the

+@cindex iri support
+@cindex idn support
+@item --iri
+
+Turn on internationalized URI (IRI) support. Use @samp{--no-iri} to
+turn it off. IRI support is activated by default.
+
+You can set the default state of IRI support using @code{iri} command in
+@file{.wgetrc}. That setting may be overridden from the command line.
+
+@cindex local encoding
+@cindex locale
+@item --locale=@var{encoding}
+
+Force Wget to use @var{encoding} as the default system encoding. That affects
+how Wget converts URLs specified as arguments from locale to @sc{utf-8} for
+IRI support.
+
+Wget use the function @code{nl_langinfo()} and then the @code{CHARSET}
+environment variable to get the locale. If it fails, @sc{ascii} is used.
+
+You can set the default locale using the @code{locale} command in
+@file{.wgetrc}. That setting may be overridden from the command line.
+
@cindex progress indicator
@cindex dot style
@item --progress=@var{type}
``dot'' progress will be favored over ``bar''. To force the bar output,
use @samp{--progress=bar:force}.
+@cindex remote encoding
+@item --remote-encoding=@var{encoding}
+
+Force Wget to use encoding as the default remote server encoding. That
+affects how Wget converts URIs found in files from remote encoding to
+@sc{utf-8} during a recursive fetch. This options is only useful for
+IRI support, for the interpretation of non-@sc{ascii} characters.
+
+For HTTP, remote encoding can be found in HTTP @code{Content-Type}
+header and in HTML @code{Content-Type http-equiv} meta tag.
+
+You can set the default encoding using the @code{remoteencoding}
+command in @file{.wgetrc}. That setting may be overridden from the
+command line.
