SYNOPSIS

       bgcode [IN_FILE] OPTIONS

DESCRIPTION

       bgcode converts textual gcode files into binary gcode, as used by Prusa 3D printers.

OPTIONS

       --checksum=CHECKSUM
              Checksum  algorithm  to use.  Valid values for CHECKSUM are 0 for no checksum and 1
              for CRC32 (default).

       --file_metadata_compression=COMPRESSION
              Compression algorithm to use for file metadata.  Valid values for COMPRESSION  are:
              0   for   None  (default),  1  for  Deflate,  2  for  Heatshrink_11_4,  and  3  for
              Heatshrink_12_4.

       --print_metadata_compression=COMPRESSION
              Compression algorithm to use for print metadata.  Valid values for COMPRESSION are:
              0   for   None  (default),  1  for  Deflate,  2  for  Heatshrink_11_4,  and  3  for
              Heatshrink_12_4.

       --printer_metadata_compression=COMPRESSION
              Compression algorithm to use for printer metadata.  Valid  values  for  COMPRESSION
              are:  0  for  None  (default),  1  for  Deflate,  2  for Heatshrink_11_4, and 3 for
              Heatshrink_12_4.

       --slicer_metadata_compression=COMPRESSION
              Compression algorithm to use for slicer metadata.   Valid  values  for  COMPRESSION
              are:  0  for  None  (default),  1  for  Deflate,  2  for Heatshrink_11_4, and 3 for
              Heatshrink_12_4.

       --gcode_compression=COMPRESSION
              Compression algorithm to use for G-code.  Valid values for COMPRESSION are:  0  for
              None (default), 1 for Deflate, 2 for Heatshrink_11_4, and 3 for Heatshrink_12_4.

       --gcode_encoding=GCODE_ENCODING
              Encoding  format to use for G-code.  Valid values for GCODE_ENCODING are 0 for None
              (default), 1 for MeatPack, and 2 for MeatPackComments.

       --metadata_encoding=METADATA_ENCODING
              Encoding format to use for metadata.  The only available value for this  is  0  for
              INI (default).
