Program Arguments

Usually, The user does not need to know any command-line argument. However, advanced users, who want to use EdPatt as part of a specific task, can use the following parameters:

• --no-splash - Disables the presentation splash image. This can be used to speed up execution process;

• --hidden-dialog - Disables the main dialog. This is used only if the program is used as part of a batch file; where it runs (eventually dumping an output file) and exits;

• --input-file filename - Sets an input file to be read. This can be used to associate file extensions in Windows plataforms or used inside terminal commands;

• --output-file filename - Sets an automatic output file to be dumped after the program initialization. This feature is used mostly if EdPatt is used to convert files in batch mode (used together with --hidden-dialog);

• -- - Show parameters help at the terminal (UNIX only).
