1. Description
Enca (Extremely Naive Charset Analyser) consists of two main components:
* libenca, an encoding detection library. It currently supports
Belarussian, Bulgarian, Croatian, Czech, Estonian, Hungarian, Latvian,
Lithuanian, Polish, Russian, Slovak, Slovene, Ukrainian, Chinese, and
some multibyte encodings independently on language. The API should be
relatively stable (to be read as `it will either change only
marginally, or very drastically').
* enca, a command line frontend, integrating libenca and several
charset conversion libraries and tools (GNU recode, UNIX98 iconv,
perl Unicode::Map, cstocs).
