TAGTEST(8C)

💖 TAGTEST(8C) 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the tagtest page — it lives in section 8C of the HylaFAX manuals and it's the HylaFAX tag line testing program. yes, that's the whole vibe. let's get into it ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

tagtest — HylaFAX tag line testing program 🎀

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

/usr/bin/tagtest [ options ] input.tif

---

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so tagtest is the program you run when you wanna test the ``tag line'' support in the HylaFAX server. she takes a TIFF/F (TIFF Class F) file and generates a brand new TIFF/F file that's literally a copy of the input file, except — plot twist — with sample tag lines imaged across the top of every single page. 💅

there are options for specifying a tag line format string and a tag line font file. if you don't specify either one, tagtest just uses the built-in defaults, no stress. 🫶

and the whole reason she exists? testing tag line format strings and fonts before they get configured for use by the facsimile server. like, try it here first, bestie. don't rawdog it in production. 😭

👑 OPTIONS 👑

• -A — adds the lines of the tagline to the image instead of replacing the existing lines. additive queen. ✨
• -B — puts the tagline at the bottom of the image instead of at the top. heads up tho: this currently functions with MMR images only. ⚠️
• -f file — images the tag line format string using the Portable Compiled Font (PCF) in file. by default tagtest goes looking for the font file fixed.pcf. 🔍
• -m format — uses format when imaging tag lines. if you don't pass this option, tagtest rolls with the format string From %%n|%c|Page %%p of %%t. 🎀
• -l locale — uses locale as the locale setting for preparing the given format string. for example, en_US.UTF-8. if the string is encoded via UTF-8, then getting the locale setting right is requisite for proper decoding by the parser — no cap, the parser will simply not decode it right otherwise. by default the environment settings are used. 🌈
• -o file — writes output to file. by default the output gets written to the file t.tif. 📝
