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