NAME¶
Encode::Detect::Detector - Detects the encoding of data
SYNOPSIS¶
use Encode::Detect::Detector; my $charset = detect($octets); my $d = new Encode::Detect::Detector; $d->handle($octets); $d->handle($more_octets); $d->end; my $charset = $d->getresult;
DESCRIPTION¶
This module provides an interface to Mozilla's universal charset detector, which detects the charset used to encode data.
METHODS¶
$charset = Encode::Detect::Detector->detect($octets)¶
Detect the charset used to encode the data in $octets and return the charset's name. Returns undef if the charset cannot be determined with sufficient confidence.
$d = Encode::Detect::Detector->new()¶
Creates a new "Encode::Detect::Detector" object and returns it.
$d->handle($octets)¶
Provides an additional chunk of data to be examined by the detector. May be called multiple times.
Returns zero on success, nonzero if a memory allocation failed.
$d->eof¶
Informs the detector that there is no more data to be examined. In many cases, this is necessary in order for the detector to make a decision on the charset.
$d->reset¶
Resets the detector to its initial state.
$d->getresult¶
Returns the name of the detected charset or "undef" if no charset has (yet) been decided upon. May be called at any time.
