Examples Argument parsing:
Argument long options can be abbreviated to a prefix if the abbreviation is
anambiguous. That is, the prefix must match a unique option.
Beware of your shell interpreting argument values as special characters (like
the semicolon in the CMYK;I colorspace option). If in doubt, put the argument
values in single quotes.
If you want an argument value to start with one or more minus characters, you
must use the long option name and join them with an equal sign like so:
$ img2pdf --author=--test--
If your input file name starts with one or more minus characters, either
separate the input files from the other arguments by two minus signs:
$ img2pdf -- --my-file-starts-with-two-minuses.jpg
Or be more explicit about its relative path by prepending a ./:
$ img2pdf ./--my-file-starts-with-two-minuses.jpg
The order of non-positional arguments (all arguments other than the input
images) does not matter.
Examples:
Lines starting with a dollar sign denote commands you can enter into your Lines starting with a dollar sign denote commands you can enter into your
terminal. The dollar sign signifies your command prompt. It is not part of terminal. The dollar sign signifies your command prompt. It is not part of
