34
35       · Guess the encoding type of a file named "test.txt", using the suspect
36         types "euc-jp,shiftjis,7bit-jis".
37
38            encguess -s euc-jp,shiftjis,7bit-jis test.txt
39            encguess -s euc-jp:shiftjis:7bit-jis test.txt

41       · Guess the encoding type of several files, do not display results for
42         unidentified files.
43
44            encguess -us euc-jp,shiftjis,7bit-jis test*.txt

DESCRIPTION

47       The encoding identification is done by checking one encoding type at a
48       time until all but the right type are eliminated. The set of encoding
49       types to try is defined by the -s parameter and defaults to ascii, utf8
50       and UTF-16/32 with BOM. This can be overridden by passing one or more
51       encoding types via the -s parameter. If you need to pass in multiple
52       suspect encoding types, use a quoted string with the a space separating
53       each value.
