## EXAMPLE

```

		"this is ascii",
		"ÀÌ°Ç euc-kr ÀÔ´Ï´Ù."
	};
	arrayNum = sizeof (str) / sizeof (str[0]);
	if ( (d = detect_init ()) == NULL ) {
		fprintf (stderr, "chardet handle initialize failed\n");
		return CHARDET_MEM_ALLOCATED_FAIL;
	}
	for ( i=0; i<arrayNum; i++ ) {
		detect_reset (&d);
		if ( (obj = detect_obj_init ()) == NULL ) {
			fprintf (stderr, "Memory Allocation failed\n");
			return CHARDET_MEM_ALLOCATED_FAIL;

				return CHARDET_OUT_OF_MEMORY;
			case CHARDET_NULL_OBJECT :
				fprintf (stderr,
						"2st argument of chardet() is must memory allocation "
						"with detect_obj_init API\n");
				return CHARDET_NULL_OBJECT;
		}
		# check support obj->bom with CHARDET_BOM_CHECK constant
		printf ("encoding: %s, confidence: %f, exists bom: %d\n", obj->encoding, obj->confidence, obj->bom);
		detect_obj_free (&obj);
