you will want to find out afterwards which coding system was chosen.
@defvar buffer-file-coding-system
-This buffer-local variable records the coding system that was used to visit
-the current buffer. It is used for saving the buffer, and for writing part
-of the buffer with @code{write-region}. If the text to be written
-cannot be safely encoded using the coding system specified by this
-variable, these operations select an alternative encoding by calling
-the function @code{select-safe-coding-system} (@pxref{User-Chosen
-Coding Systems}). If selecting a different encoding requires to ask
-the user to specify a coding system, @code{buffer-file-coding-system}
-is updated to the newly selected coding system.

@code{buffer-file-coding-system} does @emph{not} affect sending text
to a subprocess.
