User Commands                                          auto_ef(1)



NAME
     auto_ef - auto encoding finder

SYNOPSIS
     /usr/bin/auto_ef [-e encoding_list] [-a]  [-l  level]  [file
     ...]

     /usr/bin/auto_ef -h

DESCRIPTION
     The auto_ef utility identifies the encoding of a given file.
     The  utility  judges  the  encoding  by using the iconv code
     conversion, determining whether a  certain  code  conversion
     was  successful  with  the file, and also by performing fre-
     quency analyses on the character sequences  that  appear  in
     the file.

     The auto_ef utility might produce unexpected output  if  the
     string is binary, a character table, a localized digit list,
     or a chronogram, or if the string or file is very  small  in
     size (for example, less than one 100 bytes).

     By default, auto_ef returns a single, most  likely  encoding
     for  text in a specified file. To get all possible encodings
     for the file, use the -a option.

     Also by default, auto_ef uses the fastest process to examine
     the file. For more accurate results, use the -l option.

     To examine data with a limited set of encodings, use the  -e
     option.

OPTIONS
     The following options are supported:

     -a                      Shows  all  possible  encodings   in
                             order of possibility, with scores in
                             the range between  0.0  and  1.0.  A
                             higher  score  means a higher possi-
                             bility. For example,

                             example% auto_ef -a test_file
                             eucJP           0.89
                             zh_CN.euc       0.04
                             ko_KR.euc       0.01


                             Without this option, only one encod-
                             ing with the highest score is shown.



     -e encoding_list        Examines data  only  with  specified
                             encodings.    For    example,   when
                             encoding_list   is   specified    as

                             "ko_KR.euc:ko_KR.cp949",     auto_ef
                             examines text only  with  CP949  and
                             ko_KR.euc.   Without   this  option,
                             auto_ef  examines  text   with   all
                             encodings. Multiple encodings can be
                             specified by separating  the  encod-
                             ings using a colon (:).



     -h                      Shows the usage message.



     -l level                Specifies the level of judgment. The
                             value of level can be 0, 1, 2, or 3.
                             Level 3 produces the best result but
                             can  be slow. Level 0 is fastest but
                             results can be less accurate than in
                             higher  levels. The default is level
                             0.



OPERANDS
     The following operands are supported:

     file            File name to examine.



EXAMPLES
     Example 1: Examining encoding of a file

     example% auto_ef file_name

     Example 2: Examining encoding of a file at level 2.

     example% auto_ef -l 2 file_name

     Example 3: Examining encoding of a file with only  eucJP  or
     ko_KR.euc

     example% auto_ef -e "eucJP:ko_KR.euc" file_name

EXIT STATUS
     The following exit values are returned:

     0        Successful completion
