== KNOWN BUGS

EPUB files with non-ASCII file names only work reliably when the system locale
uses an encoding which has the necessary characters. Technically EPUBs must use
UTF-8 for file names but it is usually recommended to only use ASCII (ASCII is
valid UTF-8). If your system locale is not UTF-8, files may be silently skipped.
You can work around this by calling epubgrep like this:
`LC_ALL="C.UTF-8" epubgrep`
