SYNOPSIS
encguess [switches] filename...
SWITCHES
-h
show this message and exit.
-s
specify a list of "suspect encoding types" to test, separated by
either ":" or ","
-S
output a list of all acceptable encoding types that can be used with
the -s param
-u
suppress display of unidentified types
EXAMPLES:
o Guess encoding of a file named "test.txt", using only the default
suspect types.
encguess test.txt
o 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
o 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.
