### camel_mime_filter_bestenc_new ()

    CamelMimeFilterBestenc * camel_mime_filter_bestenc_new  (guint flags);

Create a new CamelMimeFilterBestenc object.

`flags` : | a bitmask of data required.
Returns : | a new CamelMimeFilterBestenc object

### camel_mime_filter_bestenc_get_best_encoding ()

    CamelTransferEncoding  camel_mime_filter_bestenc_get_best_encoding

Get the best encoding, given specific constraints, that can be used to encode a stream of bytes.

`filter` : | a CamelMimeFilterBestenc object
`required` : | maximum level of output encoding allowed.
Returns : | the best encoding to use

### camel_mime_filter_bestenc_get_best_charset ()

    const gchar *       camel_mime_filter_bestenc_get_best_charset
                                                            (CamelMimeFilterBestenc *filter);

Gets the best charset that can be used to contain this content.

`filter` : | a CamelMimeFilterBestenc object
Returns : | the name of the best charset to use to encode the input text filtered by `filter`

### camel_mime_filter_bestenc_set_flags ()

    void                camel_mime_filter_bestenc_set_flags (CamelMimeFilterBestenc *filter,
                                                             guint flags);

Set the flags for subsequent operations.

`filter` : | a CamelMimeFilterBestenc object
`flags` : | bestenc filter flags
