"BIG5", and "latin1" (covers ISO-8859-1/windows-1252).
Usage
dcc_detect_encoding(path, n_bytes = 65536L)
Value
A list with elements encoding (normalized name),
confidence (0-1), and candidates (data.frame of raw
detector output).
Arguments
path
Path to the file.
n_bytes
Maximum number of bytes to sample (default 65536).
