See Encodings.
Argument ext_enc, if given, must be an Encoding object or a String with the encoding name; it is assigned as the encoding for the stream.
Argument int_enc, if given, must be an Encoding object or a String with the encoding name; it is assigned as the encoding for the internal string.
Argument 'ext_enc:int_enc', if given, is a string containing two colon-separated encoding names; corresponding Encoding objects are assigned as the external and internal encodings for the stream.
If the external encoding of a string is binary/ASCII-8BIT, the internal encoding of the string is set to nil, since no transcoding is needed.
Optional keyword arguments enc_opts specify Encoding options.
