NAME

vips - run vips operations from the command line

SYNOPSIS

vips [flags] [command] [command-args]

DESCRIPTION

vips(1) is the VIPS universal main program. You can use it to run any VIPS function from the command line, to query the VIPS function database, and to maintain parts of the VIPS library.

To run a VIPS function, the first argument should be the name of the function and following arguments should be the function parameters. For example:


  example% vips im_invert lena.v lena2.v

If you make a symbolic link to the vips executable named after an operation, then you can use that link to call an operation directly. For example:


  example% ln -s vips im_invert
  example% im_invert lena.v lena2.v
