patch

This is the library that is able to guess what encoding the text is in.

Despite the gradual demise of non-UTF-* encodings, this library is very useful for programs that need to guess the encoding of some legacy text data (like subtitles in video players like mplayer, etc).

This codebase was used for a long time within the Firefox browser (their "guess encoding" feature).

The related (by functionality) project is converters/enca It detects mostly European charsets.
converters/ might be another category to consider, except textproc/uchardet doesn't convert anything, only outputs the detected charset type.
