The helpfile liststhe long option --encoding ENCODING Force the specified encoding (experimental)

which was introduced in this commit by @phihag .
It is quite unclear what is meant by ENCODING and what can be passed to the option as a parameter.

Further explanation should either be added to either the section documenting the option, or in the EXAMPLES section of the helpfile.
