### hb_buffer_guess_segment_properties ()

    void                hb_buffer_guess_segment_properties  (hb_buffer_t *buffer);

Sets unset buffer segment properties based on buffer Unicode contents. If buffer is not empty, it must have content type `HB_BUFFER_CONTENT_TYPE_UNICODE`.

If buffer script is not set (ie. is `HB_SCRIPT_INVALID`), it will be set to the Unicode script of the first character in the buffer that has a script other than `HB_SCRIPT_COMMON`, `HB_SCRIPT_INHERITED`, and `HB_SCRIPT_UNKNOWN`.

Next, if buffer direction is not set (ie. is `HB_DIRECTION_INVALID`), it will be set to the natural horizontal direction of the buffer script as returned by `hb_script_get_horizontal_direction()`.

Finally, if buffer language is not set (ie. is `HB_LANGUAGE_INVALID`), it will be set to the process's default language as returned by `hb_language_get_default()`. This may change in the future by taking buffer script into consideration when choosing a language.
