 ## Conversion
 
 The recommended way to convert existing/legacy `.od` files to the new JSON
 format is:
 
-    $ odg generate <file.od> <file.json> --fix --drop-unused [--nosort]
+    $ odg generate <file.od> <file.jsonc> --fix --drop-unused [--nosort]
 
 The `--fix` option might be necessary if the OD-file contains internal
 inconsistencies. It is safe to run this option as it will not delete any active
