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.
