jbig2dec - File format converter specialized in JBIG2 decoding
Contents
Description
The jbig2dec command converts JBIG2 files to png or pbm files.
When passed a single file argument it is interpreted as a JBIG2 file stream, with either sequential or
random-access organization.
When passed two stream arguments, they are interpreted as the global and page-specific portions of an
embedded organization, as used in PDF. If a particular page references no global segment stream,
/dev/null can be passed for the global-stream argument to request the embedded parser.
Name
jbig2dec - File format converter specialized in JBIG2 decoding
Options
The options are as follows:
-e, --embedded
Expect embedded bit stream without file header.
-ofile,--outputfile
Store the decoded output in file. Defaults to the input with a different extension. Set to - for
standard output.
-ttype,--formattype
Force a particular output file format. Supported are png and pbm.
-d, --dump
Print the structure of the JBIG2 file rather than explicitly decoding it.
-m, --hash
Print a hash of the decoded document.
-q, --quiet
Suppress warnings and other diagnostic output.
-v, --verbose
Report additional information about the decoding process. Pass just -v for information about the
file as it's being decoded. This is the same as --verbose=2. Pass --verbose=3 or higher for
debugging information.
-V, --version
Show program version information.
-h, --help
Show usage summary.
