💖 NAME 💖

okay so bestie, gather round — gegl-tester is the tester tool for GEGL output. that's the whole vibe. it's living in the User Commands corner of the manual, and honestly? she's serving utility.

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

🫶 Usage 🫶

so this is literally how you call her:

gegl-tester [OPTION...]

no cap, that's it. just the program name and however many options you wanna pile on.

🌸 Help Options 🌸

the "wait, what does this do" squad. use these when you're lost (we've all been there):

  • -h, --help — shows you the help options. your lil emergency contact 💅
  • --help-all — shows you all the help options, not just the basic ones. the deluxe tour.
  • --help-gegl — shows you the GEGL Options specifically. gegl-flavoured help, iykyk.

🎀 Application Options 🎀

this is the main character section fr fr. here's every single one:

  • -d, --data-directory — the root directory of the files used in the composition. like, the home base of all your input files.
  • -r, --reference-directory — the directory where the reference images are located. the glow-up pics you're comparing against ✨
  • -o, --output-directory — the directory where composition output and diff files get saved. where the receipts live.
  • -p, --pattern — a regular expression used to match the names of operations to be tested. so you can be picky about which ones get the spotlight 👑
  • -e, --exclusion-pattern — a regular expression used to match the names of operations not to be tested. the "not you, bestie" list.
  • -a, --all — creates output for all operations using a standard composition if no composition is specified. go big or go home energy.
also, heads up — this is exactly what shows up in the wild sometimes: (gegl-tester:2658): GEGL-gegl-init.c-CRITICAL **: swap parsing not done Unknown option --version yes, that's really in there. --version is not the moment. 💀
