.PD 0
.P
.PD
\f[CR]zint\f[R] [\f[I]options\f[R]]
.SH DESCRIPTION
zint takes input data from the command line or a file to encode in a
barcode which is then output to an image file.
.PP
Input data is UTF\-8, unless \f[CR]\-\-binary\f[R] is specified.
.PP
Human Readable Text (HRT) is displayed by default for those barcodes
that support HRT, unless \f[CR]\-\-notext\f[R] is specified.
.PP
The output image file (specified with \f[CR]\-o\f[R] |
\f[CR]\-\-output\f[R]) may be in one of these formats: Windows Bitmap
(\f[CR]BMP\f[R]), Enhanced Metafile Format (\f[CR]EMF\f[R]),
Encapsulated PostScript (\f[CR]EPS\f[R]), Graphics Interchange Format
(\f[CR]GIF\f[R]), ZSoft Paintbrush (\f[CR]PCX\f[R]), Portable Network
Format (\f[CR]PNG\f[R]), Scalable Vector Graphic (\f[CR]SVG\f[R]), or
Tagged Image File Format (\f[CR]TIF\f[R]).
.SH OPTIONS
.TP
\f[CR]\-h\f[R], \f[CR]\-\-help\f[R]
Print usage information summarizing command line options.
.TP
\f[CR]\-b TYPE\f[R], \f[CR]\-\-barcode=TYPE\f[R]
Set the barcode symbology that will be used to encode the data.
\f[I]TYPE\f[R] is the number or name of the barcode symbology.
If not given, the symbology defaults to 20 (Code 128).
To see what types are available, use the \f[CR]\-t\f[R] |
\f[CR]\-\-types\f[R] option.
Type names are case\-insensitive, and non\-alphanumerics are ignored.
.TP
\f[CR]\-\-addongap=INTEGER\f[R]
For EAN/UPC symbologies, set the gap between the main data and the
add\-on.
\f[I]INTEGER\f[R] is in integral multiples of the X\-dimension.
The maximum gap that can be set is 12.
The minimum is 7, except for UPC\-A, when the minimum is 9.
.TP
\f[CR]\-\-batch\f[R]
Treat each line of an input file specified with \f[CR]\-i\f[R] |
\f[CR]\-\-input\f[R] as a separate data set and produce a barcode image
for each one.
The barcode images are outputted by default to numbered filenames
starting with \[lq]00001.png\[rq], \[lq]00002.png\[rq] etc., which can
be changed by using the \f[CR]\-o\f[R] | \f[CR]\-\-output\f[R] option.
.TP
\f[CR]\-\-bg=COLOUR\f[R]
Specify a background (paper) colour where \f[I]COLOUR\f[R] is in
hexadecimal \f[CR]RRGGBB\f[R] or \f[CR]RRGGBBAA\f[R] format or in
decimal \f[CR]C,M,Y,K\f[R] percentages format.
.TP
\f[CR]\-\-binary\f[R]
Treat input data as raw 8\-bit binary data instead of the default
UTF\-8.
Automatic code page translation to an ECI page is disabled, and no
validation of the data\[cq]s character encoding takes place.
.TP
\f[CR]\-\-bind\f[R]
Add horizontal boundary bars (also known as bearer bars) to the symbol.
The width of the boundary bars is specified by the \f[CR]\-\-border\f[R]
option.
\f[CR]\-\-bind\f[R] can also be used to add row separator bars to
symbols stacked with multiple \f[CR]\-d\f[R] | \f[CR]\-\-data\f[R]
inputs, in which case the width of the separator bars is specified with
the \f[CR]\-\-separator\f[R] option.
.TP
\f[CR]\-\-bindtop\f[R]
Add a horizontal boundary bar to the top of the symbol.
The width of the boundary bar is specified by the \f[CR]\-\-border\f[R]
option.
.TP
\f[CR]\-\-bold\f[R]
Use a bold font for the Human Readable Text (HRT).
.TP
\f[CR]\-\-border=INTEGER\f[R]
Set the width of boundary bars (\f[CR]\-\-bind\f[R] or
\f[CR]\-\-bindtop\f[R]) or box borders (\f[CR]\-\-box\f[R]), where
\f[I]INTEGER\f[R] is in integral multiples of the X\-dimension.
The default is zero.
.TP
\f[CR]\-\-box\f[R]
Add a box around the symbol.
The width of the borders is specified by the \f[CR]\-\-border\f[R]
option.
.TP

Use the CMYK colour space when outputting to Encapsulated PostScript
(EPS) or TIF files.
.TP
\f[CR]\-\-cols=INTEGER\f[R]
Set the number of data columns in the symbol to \f[I]INTEGER\f[R].
Affects Codablock\-F, DotCode, GS1 DataBar Expanded Stacked
(DBAR_EXPSTK), MicroPDF417 and PDF417 symbols.
.TP
\f[CR]\-\-compliantheight\f[R]
Warn if the height specified by the \f[CR]\-\-height\f[R] option is not
compliant with the barcode\[cq]s specification, or if
\f[CR]\-\-height\f[R] is not given, default to the height specified by
the specification (if any).
.TP
\f[CR]\-d\f[R], \f[CR]\-\-data=DATA\f[R]
Specify the input \f[I]DATA\f[R] to encode.
The \f[CR]\-\-esc\f[R] option may be used to enter non\-printing
characters using escape sequences.
The \f[I]DATA\f[R] should be UTF\-8, unless the \f[CR]\-\-binary\f[R]
option is given, in which case it can be anything.
.TP

pipe or a file.
Use \f[CR]\-\-filetype\f[R] to specify output format.
.TP
\f[CR]\-\-dmiso144\f[R]
For Data Matrix symbols, use the standard ISO/IEC codeword placement for
144 x 144 (\f[CR]\-\-vers=24\f[R]) sized symbols, instead of the default
\[lq]de facto\[rq] placement (which rotates the placement of ECC
codewords).
.TP
\f[CR]\-\-dmre\f[R]
For Data Matrix symbols, allow Data Matrix Rectangular Extended (DMRE)
sizes when considering automatic sizes.
See also \f[CR]\-\-square\f[R].

Use dots instead of squares for matrix symbols.
DotCode is always in dotty mode.
.TP
\f[CR]\-\-dump\f[R]

stdout.
The same representation may be outputted to a file by using a
\f[CR].txt\f[R] extension with \f[CR]\-o\f[R] | \f[CR]\-\-output\f[R] or
by specifying \f[CR]\-\-filetype=txt\f[R].

\f[CR]\-\-extraesc\f[R]
For Code 128 only, as well as processing the normal escape sequences
above, process the special escape sequences \f[CR]\[rs]\[ha]A\f[R],
\f[CR]\[rs]\[ha]B\f[R], \f[CR]\[rs]\[ha]C\f[R] and
\f[CR]\[rs]\[ha]\[at]\f[R] that allow manual switching of Code Sets, and
the special escape sequence \f[CR]\[rs]\[ha]1\f[R] that inserts an
\f[CR]FNC1\f[R] character.
The sequence \f[CR]\[rs]\[at]\f[R] turns off manual switching.

Do not check the validity of GS1 data.
.TP
\f[CR]\-\-gs1parens\f[R]

.TP
\f[CR]\-\-gssep\f[R]
For Data Matrix in GS1 mode, use \f[CR]GS\f[R] (0x1D) as the GS1 data
