.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 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.
