NAME
vips - run vips function from UNIX 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
