Data.Text.ICU.CharsetDetection

From the ICU C API documentation: "Character set detection is at best an imprecise operation. The detection process will attempt to identify the charset that best matches the characteristics of the byte data, but the process is partly statistical in nature, and the results can not be guaranteed to always be correct.

For best accuracy in charset detection, the input data should be primarily in a single language, and a minimum of a few hundred bytes worth of plain text in the language are needed. The detection process will attempt to ignore html or xml style markup that could otherwise obscure the content."

Use the first 512 bytes, if available, as the text in the CharsetDetector object. This function is low-level and used by the more high-level detect function.

Attempt to perform a detection without an input filter. The best match will be returned.

Temporarily unwraps an CharsetDetector to perform operations on its raw UCharsetDetector handle.

Opaque character set match handle. The memory backing these objects is managed entirely by the ICU C library. TODO: UCharsetMatch is reset after the setText call. We need to handle it.

Handy wrapper for the pointer to the UCharsetDetector. We must always call ucsdet_close on any UCharsetDetector when we are done. The withCharsetDetector and wrapUCharsetDetector functions simplify management of the pointers.

See the confidence score from 0-100 of the CharsetMatch object.

Extract the character set encoding name from the CharsetMatch object.

Extracts the three letter ISO code for the language encoded in the CharsetMatch.
