explaining syntax-check hook-script

Could somebody explain what exactly the pre-commit hook-script

http://svn.collab.net/repos/svn/trunk/contrib/hook-scripts/syntax-check.sh

is doing?

The comments state
# This script provides language independant syntax checking
# functionality intended to be invoked from a subversion pre-commit
# hook.

What rules are used for the syntax?
What will be ensured if the script is passed successfully?

We have the requirement to ensure that log-messages as well as file-names
and the contents of character-based files are properly encoded, i .e. in
UTF-8.
Anybody knows a script to do this job?
