 • 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

 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.
