Determine encoding of file

Hi everyone,

I have a seemingly simple question, but I haven't been able to figure it out.

Given a file, how can I determine the NSStringEncoding of the file, without reading the entire file into memory?  (If the file isn't a text file, then defaulting to NSUTF8StringEncoding is just fine, since my code will only work properly if I'm working with text files anyway)

I've found this: http://www.macosxguru.net/article.php?story=20030808081801868 but it seems ridiculously complex...

Thanks,

Dave
