CHECKIT_TIFF'(1)

💖 CHECKIT_TIFF'(1) 💖

okay bestie, so this is the user-commands page for checkit_tiff' — and no, that little apostrophe at the end is not a typo, it's part of the name, we respect it, we love it, it's iconic 💅

🌸 NAME 🌸

checkit_tiff' — she's a conformance checker for baseline TIFFs' ✨

like. she literally checks that your TIFF is doing what a baseline TIFF is supposed to do. that's the whole vibe. that's the job. and she eats every time 🔥

---

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

so you run her like this:

'./checkit_tiff'

💫 call it with:

checkit_tiff [[-c|-t]|-h|-m|-d|-D|-q] <configfile> <tifffile>
[<tifffile> ...]

where <tifffile> is the tiff file (or directory) to be validated, and <configfile> is the file name of the validation profile 🫶

(yeah, the config file is how she knows which flavour of correctness she's checking for. it's giving "rules of the house" energy, and honestly? obsessed.)

✨ the flags, one by one, no skips, we don't skip here ✨

• -h — this help. the "bestie what do i even do" button 🙈
• -c — colorized output using ANSI escape sequences 🌈 (aesthetic mode: engaged)
• -m — uses memmapped I/O (faster validation, but needs more RAM. Not available on all operating systems.) ⚡ so it's speed demon mode, but she's hungry for memory and she's not on every OS, lowkey a diva
• -d — check all files in that directory (non-recursively) 📁
• -D — check all files in that directory (recursively) 📂📂📂 (capital D, capital dedication)
• -q — suppresses the output of all valid tags 🤫 like, girl, only tell me the problems
• -t — CSV output 📊 for when you want your data in lil comma-separated rows

ngl bestie, <italic>-d</italic> and <italic>-D</italic> look almost identical and one of them goes ALL the way down the tree. double-check which one you typed before you point her at your entire filesystem 💀

🌟 example:

checkit_tiff tiffs_should_pass/minimal_valid.tiff
example_configs/baseline_minimal.cfg

see? tiff first, then the config. and yes, she's saying that file "should pass" — the directory name is snitching on the vibes 💖

👑 SEE ALSO 👑

nope, nothing else listed. <rainbow>she stands alone, main character energy, periodt.</rainbow> ✨

and that's the whole page, bestie!! 🎀 this one came out in July 2016 under the name checkit_tiff — so yes, she's been out here validating baseline TIFFs since before some of us could read, and she's still slaying 💅🦋 go forth and check your TIFFs, fr fr 💜
