👑 EDENTIFY(1) — the ExactImage Manual, but make it a vibe 💅

okay bestie, welcome to edentify, straight out of the ExactImage manual (that's the manual name btw, in case the header was doing too much). this is the image indentifiction tool and yes we're keeping the typo, it's iconic, it's canon, we don't touch it 💖

✨ NAME ✨

edentify — image indentifiction tool of the ExactImage toolkit 🦋

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

edentify [{-f | --format} format-string] [-v | --verbose] file...

edentify {-h | --help}

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

so ExactImage is a fast C++ image processing library ✨ and unlike so many other library frameworks out there, it lets you operate in several color spaces and bit depths natively, which means low memory and computational requirements. it's giving efficient. it's giving effortless. no cap 🫶

and edentify? she is the command line frontend for that image processing library, and she mimics ImageMagick's identify 😭 (yes really, she said "anything you can do I can do cuter"). what she does is identify images, which means: she prints the codec, the pixel dimensions, the resolution and physical sizes (if any resolution is specified in the image data, that's the condition, don't forget it bestie) and also the color space. she's basically the group chat member who knows everything about everyone and tells you the second you ask 🔥

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

  • -f format-string, --format format-string — set a user-defined format string 🌈 you can use all of these format characters, and yes, all of them, we're not skipping a single one:
    • %d — directory
    • %f — filename
    • %t — filename without extension
    • %e — filename extension
    • %i — path (directory + filename)
    • %w — width
    • %h — height
    • %q — quantum depth
    • %x — x resolution
    • %y — y resolution
    • %z — image depth
    • %P — page width and height
    • %% — literal percent character
    • t — new line character
    • n — new line character
    • r — carriage return character
not me pointing out that both t and n are listed as new line character 🫠 that's literally what the manual says, so that's literally what I'm saying. copy, paste, respect the source. periodt.
  • -v, --verbose — make the output more verbose 🔊 she talks more. we love that for her.
  • -h, --help — display help text and exit 💜 the classic "hey bestie, here's the rundown" move.

🦋 EXAMPLES 🦋

$ edentify lenea.tiff
lenea.tiff: TIFF 512x512 24 bits, 3 channels

look at that. codec, dimensions, bits, channels. she ate and left no crumbs 🔥✨
