16 Siril is a powerful image processing tool designed for improving the
17 signal-to-noise ratio of astronomical images. It offers a wide range of
18 tools for aligning, stacking, and enhancing images from various file
19 formats, including image sequences. It features a high-precision 32-bit
20 floating-point engine and supports parallel processing to run quickly.
21 The application is divided into 2 binaries. The first one, siril,
22 launches the program in graphic mode. The second one, siril-cli, is a
23 command line interface allowing to execute the following options.
24
27 -v, --version
28 Prints the program name and version, then exits.
29 -i conf_file
32 Starts Siril with the specified configuration file.
33 -f, --format
36 Prints all supported input image formats, depending on the li‐
37 braries detected at compile-time.
38 -c, --copyright
41 Prints copyright information, then exits.
42 -h, --help
45 Displays a brief usage summary.
46 -p Starts Siril without the graphical user interface and uses named
49 pipes to accept commands and print logs and status information.
50 On POSIX systems, the named pipes are created in /tmp/siril_com‐
51 mands.in and /tmp/siril_commands.out.
52 -r input_pipe_path, --inpipe=input_pipe_path
55 Provides an alternative path for the input pipe that receives
56 the commands if -p is passed. The pipe can be created by an ex‐
57 ternal program with the mkfifo(1) command.
58 -w output_pipe_path, --outpipe=output_pipe_path
61 Provides an alternative path for the output pipe that prints
62 logs and status updates if -p is passed. The pipe can be created
63 by an external program with the mkfifo(1) command.
64 -d working_directory, --directory=working_directory
67 Sets the specified path as the current working directory.
68 -s script_file, --script=script_file
71 Starts Siril without the graphical user interface and runs the
72 specified script instead. Scripts are text files that contain a
73 list of commands to be executed sequentially. In these files,
74 lines starting with a # are considered as comments. If this op‐
75 tion is not passed, pipe operation is assumed as if -p had been
76 passed.
77 -s - Redirects inputs written after - to stdin.
80 file Opens the specified image or sequence file immediately after
83 startup.
84
88 ~/.config/siril/config.ini
89 User preferences that can be overridden by the -i option.
90 /usr/share/siril/siril.css
93 The style sheet used to change the look of the graphical user
94 interface. This is useful for customization or if a GTK theme is
95 incompatible with some colored elements of Siril.
