  35. Command-line Tool
  36. -----------------
  37. chardet comes with a command-line script which reports on the encodings of one
  38. or more files::
  39. % chardetect somefile someotherfile
  40. somefile: windows-1252 with confidence 0.5
  41. someotherfile: ascii with confidence 1.0
  42. About
  43. -----
  44. This is a continuation of Mark Pilgrim's excellent chardet. Previously, two
  45. versions needed to be maintained: one that supported python 2.x and one that
  46. supported python 3.x. We've recently merged with `Ian Cordasco <https://github.com/sigmavirus24>`_'s
  47. `charade <https://github.com/sigmavirus24/charade>`_ fork, so now we have one
  48. coherent version that works for Python 2.6+.
