Ubuntu Manpage: siril - image processing tool for astronomy and other applications

NAME

       siril - image processing tool for astronomy and other applications

SYNOPSIS

       siril [options] [file]
       siril-cli [options] [file]

DESCRIPTION

       Siril  is  a  powerful  image  processing  tool  designed  for  improving  the  signal-to-noise  ratio of
       astronomical images. It offers a wide range of tools for aligning, stacking, and  enhancing  images  from
       various  file  formats,  including  image  sequences.  It features a high-precision 32-bit floating-point
       engine and supports parallel processing to run quickly.
       The application is divided into 2 binaries. The first one, siril, launches the program in  graphic  mode.
       The second one, siril-cli, is a command line interface allowing to execute the following options.

OPTIONS

-v, --version
Prints the program name and version, then exits.

-i conf_file
Starts Siril with the specified configuration file.

-f, --format
Prints all supported input image formats, depending on the libraries detected at compile-time.

-c, --copyright
Prints copyright information, then exits.

-h, --help
Displays a brief usage summary.

-p Starts Siril without the graphical user interface and uses named pipes to accept commands and
print logs and status information. On POSIX systems, the named pipes are created in
/tmp/siril_commands.in and /tmp/siril_commands.out.

-r input_pipe_path, --inpipe=input_pipe_path
Provides an alternative path for the input pipe that receives the commands if -p is passed. The
pipe can be created by an external program with the mkfifo(1) command.

-w output_pipe_path, --outpipe=output_pipe_path
Provides an alternative path for the output pipe that prints logs and status updates if -p is
passed. The pipe can be created by an external program with the mkfifo(1) command.

-d working_directory, --directory=working_directory
Sets the specified path as the current working directory.

-s script_file, --script=script_file
Starts Siril without the graphical user interface and runs the specified script instead. Scripts
are text files that contain a list of commands to be executed sequentially. In these files, lines
starting with a # are considered as comments. If this option is not passed, pipe operation is
assumed as if -p had been passed.

-s - Redirects inputs written after - to stdin.

file Opens the specified image or sequence file immediately after startup.

FILES

       ~/.config/siril/config.ini
              User preferences that can be overridden by the -i option.

       /usr/share/siril/siril.css
              The style sheet used to change the look of the  graphical  user  interface.  This  is  useful  for
              customization or if a GTK theme is incompatible with some colored elements of Siril.
