libguess-1.2p0

high-speed character set detection library

Back to search · Project homepage

Description

libguess employs discrete-finite automata to deduce the character set of the input buffer. The advantage of this is that all character sets can be checked in parallel, and quickly. Right now, libguess passes a byte to each DFA on the same pass, meaning that the winning character set can be deduced as efficiently as possible.
