SYNOPSIS

15       -h
16         show this message and exit.
17
18       -s
19         specify a list of "suspect encoding types" to test, separated by
20         either ":" or ","
21
22       -S
23         output a list of all acceptable encoding types that can be used with
24         the -s param
25
26       -u
27         suppress display of unidentified types
28
29   EXAMPLES:
30       • Guess encoding of a file named "test.txt", using only the default
31         suspect types.
32
33            encguess test.txt
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
40
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.
