call it with:¶

checkit_tiff [[-c|-t]|-h|-m|-d|-D|-q] <configfile> <tifffile> [<tifffile> ...]

where <tifffile> is the tiff file (or directory) to be validated and <configfile> is the file name of the validation profile

-h this help

-c colorized output using ANSI escape sequences

-m uses memmapped I/O (faster validation, but needs more RAM. Not available on all operating systems.)

-d check all files in that directory (non-recursively)

-D check all files in that directory (recursively)

-q suppresses the output of all valid tags

-t CSV output

example:¶

checkit_tiff tiffs_should_pass/minimal_valid.tiff example_configs/baseline_minimal.cfg
