✨ EXIFAUTOTRAN(1) ✨

okay bestie, welcome to the User Commands section of the manual, and lemme tell you, this one is short but it works. 💅

🎀 NAME 🎀

exifautotran — the little icon that transforms Exif files so that Orientation becomes 1 🌈✨

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

lowkey the whole vibe in one line:

exifautotran [list of files]

so here's the tea: you hand it a list of files as input, and it transforms them in place so that the Orientation becomes 1. 🫶

that's it. that's the whole thing. no extra flags, no secret menu, no "wait there's a --help". just files in, orientation fixed, files stay right where they were. in place means in place, bestie — no copies, no new filenames, no drama. 🎀

heads up: because it edits in place, the files you pass in are the files that get changed. it's giving "trust the process". 🙈

and that's a wrap, gorgeous. this page is from the exifautotran manual, dated February 2005 — old enough to be vintage but still serving. periodt. 💖✨
