DESCRIPTION

       darktable is a digital photography workflow application for Linux, Mac OS X and several other Unices.
       It's described further in darktable(1).

       darktable-cli is a command line variant to be used to export images given the raw file and the
       accompanying xmp file.

OPTIONS

       The user needs to supply an input filename and an output filename.  All other parameters are optional.

       <input file>
           The name of the input file to export.

       <xmp file>
           The  optional  name  of  an  XMP  sidecar file containing the history stack data to be applied during
           export.  If this option is not given darktable will search for an XMP file that belongs to the  given
           input file.

       <output file>
           The  name of the output file.  darktable derives the export file format from the file extension.  You
           can also use all the variables available in darktable's export module in the output filename.

       --width <max width>
           This optional parameter allows one to limit the width of the exported image to that number of pixels.

       --height <max height>
           This optional parameter allows one to limit the height of  the  exported  image  to  that  number  of
           pixels.

       --bpp <bpp>
           An  optional  parameter  to  define the bit depth of the exported image; allowed values depend on the
           file format.  Currently this option is not yet functional.  If you need to define the bit  depth  you
           need to use the following workaround:

               --core --conf plugins/imageio/format/<FORMAT>/bpp=<VALUE>

           where FORMAT is the name of the selected output format, for example png.

       --hq <0|1|true|false>
           A flag that defines whether to use high quality resampling during export.  Defaults to true.

       --upscale <0|1|true|false>
           A flag that defines whether to allow upscaling during export.  Defaults to false.

       --verbose
           Enables verbose output.

       --core <darktable options>
           All command line parameters following --core are passed to the darktable core and handled as standard
           parameters.  See darktable(1) for a detailed description of the options.
