DESCRIPTION

14       Libqrencode is a library for encoding data in a QR Code symbol, a  kind
15       of 2D symbology that can be scanned by handy terminals such as a mobile
16       phone with CCD. The capacity of QR Code is up to 7000  digits  or  4000
17       characters, and has high robustness.
18
19       Qrencode  is a utility software using libqrencode to encode string data
20       in a QR Code and save as a PNG or EPS image.

26
27       -o FILENAME, --output=FILENAME
28              write image to FILENAME. If '-' is specified, the result will be
29              output  to  standard  output. If -S is given, structured symbols
30              are written to FILENAME-01.png, FILENAME-02.png, ... (suffix  is
31              removed from FILENAME, if specified)
32
33       -s NUMBER, --size=NUMBER
34              specify the size of dot (pixel). (default=3)
35
36       -l {LMQH}, --level={LMQH}
37              specify  error  collectin  level from L (lowest) to H (highest).
38              (default=L)
39
40       -v NUMBER, --symversion=NUMBER
41              specify the version of the symbol. (default=auto)
42
43       -m NUMBER, --margin=NUMBER
44              specify the width of margin. (default=4)
45
46       -d NUMBER, --dpi=NUMBER
47              specify the DPI of the generated PNG. (default=72)
48
49       -t {PNG,EPS,SVG,ANSI,ANSI256,ASCII,ASCIIi,UTF8,ANSIUTF8}
50       --type={PNG,EPS,SVG,ANSI,ANSI256,ASCII,ASCIIi,UTF8,ANSIUTF8}
51              specify the type of the generated image. (default=PNG)
52
53       -S, --structured
54              make structured symbols. Version must be specified.
55
56       -k, --kanji
57              assume that the input text contains kanji (shift-jis).
58
59       -c, --casesensitive
60              encode lower-case alphabet characters in 8-bit mode. (default)
61
62       -i, --ignorecase
63              ignore case distinctions and use only upper-case characters.
64
65       -8, --8bit
66              encode entire data in 8-bit mode. -k, -c and -i will be ignored.
67
68       -M, --micro
69              encode in a Micro QR Code. (experimental)
70
71       --foreground=RRGGBB[AA]
72       --background=RRGGBB[AA]
73              specify foreground/background  color  in  hexadecimal  notation.
74              6-digit  (RGB) or 8-digit (RGBA) form are supported.  Color out‐

76
77       -V, --version
78              display the version number and copyrights of the qrencode.
79
80       [STRING]
81              input data. If it is not specified,  data  will  be  taken  from
82              standard input.

EXAMPLES

86       qrencode -l L -v 1 -o output.png 'Hello, world!'
87              encode into a symbol version 1, level L.
88
89       qrencode -iSv 1 --output=output.png
90              read  standard  input  and  encode it into a structured-appended
