💅 KIMG(1) — the KnightOS image glow-up station ✨

ok so bestie, welcome to kimg(1) — it's a whole manual page and it's literally about turning your regular pics into KnightOS images. no cap. 🎀

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

kimg [options] input output

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

kimg is a KnightOS image conversion tool. it takes any image format that stb_image supports and converts it into the KnightOS image format — that's the whole job, and she does it slayfully 💖

✨ OPTIONS ✨

  • -b, --bare — skips the KIMG headers entirely and just writes the raw image data out. no wrapping, no ceremony, just the pixels 🫶
  • -c, --castle — the fancy one 👑 it implies -m and -n, and enforces the use of a 16x16 sprite. so no palette, no compression, and a strict 16x16 size. periodt.
  • -m, --monochrome — converts the image into a monochrome KIMG file. also implies -p (bc obviously, no palette when you're mono 💀).
  • -n, --no-compression — turns off the (lossless) KIMG compression. size queen behavior, but make it uncompressed 🙈
  • -p, --no-palette — tells kimg not to use a color palette. raw color energy only 🌈
  • -x, --compression <format> — picks the compression algorithm. your choices are:
    • NONE
    • RLE (this one's the default, iykyk) 🍓

🔥 EXAMPLES 🔥

kimg example.png example.img
