✨ VIPSEDIT ✨

okay bestie, so vipsedit is a General Commands Manual girlie and she's here to help you mess with the header of a vips image file 💅

🌸 NAME 🌸

vipsedit — edit header of a vips image file 🎀

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

vipsedit [OPTION...] vipsfile

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

so like, vipsedit alters a VIPS image file's header. it's giving "i just need to change one little thing" energy ✨ — super useful for setting the resolution, for example. no cap.

The options are:

• -x, --xsize=N — set Xsize to N 💫
• -y, --ysize=N — set Ysize to N 💫
• -b, --bands=N — set Bands to N 💫
• -f, --format=F — set BandFmt to F (eg. uchar) 💫
• -i, --interpretation=I — set Interpretation to I (eg. xyz) 💫
• -c, --coding=C — set Coding to C (eg. labq) 💫
• -X, --xres=R — set Xres to R pixels/mm 💫
• -Y, --yres=R — set Yres to R pixels/mm 💫
• -u, --xoffset=N — set Xoffset to N 💫
• -v, --yoffset=N — set Yoffset to N 💫
• -e, --setext — replace extension block with stdin 💫

🚨 OKAY BESTIE LISTEN UP 🚨 be very careful when changing Xsize, Ysize, BandFmt or Bands. vipsedit does no checking! like... none. zero. she is not your bodyguard, she is your accomplice 💀

🎀 EXAMPLES 🎀

To set the Xsize to 512 and Bands to 6:

vipsedit --xsize=512 --bands=6 fred.v

or

vipsedit -x 512 -b 6 fred.v

Extract the XML metadata from an image with vipsheader(1), edit it, and reattach with vipsedit(1).

vipsheader -f getext fred.v | sed s/banana/pineapple/ | vipsedit -e fred.v

like... banana ➡️ pineapple?? that's the pipeline of the century fr fr 🍓✨

🌈 RETURN VALUE 🌈

returns 0 on success and non-zero on error. simple as that, periodt 💅
