.SH DESCRIPTION
|
||
|
|
.LP
|
||
|
|
.B wrjpgcom
|
||
|
|
reads the named JPEG/JFIF file, or the standard input if no file is named,
|
||
|
|
and generates a new JPEG/JFIF file on standard output. A comment block is
|
||
|
|
added to the file.
|
||
|
|
.PP
|
||
|
|
The JPEG standard allows "comment" (COM) blocks to occur within a JPEG file.
|
||
|
|
Although the standard doesn't actually define what COM blocks are for, they
|
||
|
|
are widely used to hold user-supplied text strings. This lets you add
|
||
|
|
annotations, titles, index terms, etc to your JPEG files, and later retrieve
|
||
|
|
them as text. COM blocks do not interfere with the image stored in the JPEG
|
||
|
|
file. The maximum size of a COM block is 64K, but you can have as many of
|
||
|
|
them as you like in one JPEG file.
|
||
|
|
.PP
|
||
|
|
.B wrjpgcom
|
||
|
|
adds a COM block, containing text you provide, to a JPEG file.
|
||
|
|
Ordinarily, the COM block is added after any existing COM blocks; but you
|
||
|
|
can delete the old COM blocks if you wish.
|
||
|
|
.SH OPTIONS
|
||
|
|
Switch names may be abbreviated, and are not case sensitive.
|
||
|
|
.TP
|
||
|
|
.B \-replace
|
||
|
|
Delete any existing COM blocks from the file.
|
||
|
|
.TP
|
||
|
|
.BI \-comment " text"
|
||
|
|
Supply text for new COM block on command line.
|
||
|
|
.TP
|
||
|
|
.BI \-cfile " name"
|
||
|
|
Read text for new COM block from named file.
|
||
|
|
.PP
|
||
|
|
If you have only one line of comment text to add, you can provide it on the
|
||
|
|
command line with
|
||
|
|
.BR \-comment .
|
||
|
|
The comment text must be surrounded with quotes so that it is treated as a
|
||
|
|
single argument. Longer comments can be read from a text file.
|
||
|
|
.PP
|
||
|
|
If you give neither
|
||
|
|
.B \-comment
|
||
|
|
nor
|
||
|
|
.BR \-cfile ,
|
||
|
|
then
|
||
|
|
.B wrjpgcom
|
||
|
|
will read the comment text from standard input. (In this case an input image
|
||
|
|
file name MUST be supplied, so that the source JPEG file comes from somewhere
|
||
|
|
else.) You can enter multiple lines, up to 64KB worth. Type an end-of-file
|
||
|
|
indicator (usually control-D) to terminate the comment text entry.
|
||
|
|
.PP
|
||
|
|
.B wrjpgcom
|
||
|
|
will not add a COM block if the provided comment string is empty. Therefore
|
||
|
|
\fB\-replace \-comment ""\fR can be used to delete all COM blocks from a file.
|
||
|
|
