When analyzing text for possible encodings, the Text Encoding Converter requires a reference to a sniffer object that specifies what types of encodings can be detected. You receive this reference when calling the function TECCreateSniffer. A sniffer object reference is defined by the TECSnifferObjectRef data type:
typedef struct OpaqueTECSnifferObjectRef* TECSnifferObjectRef;The structure of the OpaqueTECObjectRef data type is private, and a sniffer object is not accessible directly.
