SWITCHES
- -h
- show this message and exit.
- -s
- specify a list of ``suspect encoding types'' to test, seperated by either ":" or ","
- -S
- output a list of all acceptable encoding types that can be used with the -s param
- -u

EXAMPLES:

-
Guess encoding of a file named "test.txt", using only the default
suspect types.
encguess test.txt
- *
-
Guess the encoding type of a file named "test.txt", using the suspect
types "euc-jp,shiftjis,7bit-jis".
encguess -s euc-jp,shiftjis,7bit-jis test.txt encguess -s euc-jp:shiftjis:7bit-jis test.txt
- *
-
Guess the encoding type of several files, do not display results for
unidentified files.
encguess -us euc-jp,shiftjis,7bit-jis test*.txt
DESCRIPTION
The encoding identification is done by checking one encoding type at a time until all but the right type are eliminated. The set of encoding types to try is defined by the -s parameter and defaults to ascii, utf8 and UTF-16/32 with BOM. This can be overridden by passing one or more encoding types via the -s parameter. If you need to pass in multiple suspect encoding types, use a quoted string with the a space separating each value.SEE ALSO
