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:

•

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.
