+image or falling back to 96.0.
+
+Specify the output file with -o or --output. By default output will be done to
+stdout.
+
+Specify metadata using the --title, --author, --creator, --producer,
+--creationdate, --moddate, --subject and --keywords options (or their short
+forms).
+
+More help is available with the -h or --help option.
