.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.IX Header "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 \s-1UTF\-16/32\s0 with \s-1BOM.\s0 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.
