/**
* \file
* \brief C API: Charset Detection API
*
* This API provides a facility for detecting the
* charset or encoding of character data in an unknown text format.
* The input data can be from an array of bytes.
*
* 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.
