usage: /usr/bin/cjpeg [switches] [inputfile]
Switches (names may be abbreviated):
-quality N[,...] Compression quality (0..100; 5-95 is most useful range,
default is 75)
-grayscale Create monochrome JPEG file
-rgb Create RGB JPEG file
-optimize Optimize Huffman table (smaller file, but slow compression)
-progressive Create progressive JPEG file
-targa Input file is Targa format (usually not needed)
Switches for advanced users:
-precision N Create JPEG file with N-bit data precision
(N=2..16; default is 8; if N is not 8 or 12, then -lossless
must also be specified)
-lossless psv[,Pt] Create lossless JPEG file
-arithmetic Use arithmetic coding
-dct int Use accurate integer DCT method (default)
-dct fast Use less accurate integer DCT method [legacy feature]
-dct float Use floating-point DCT method [legacy feature]
-icc FILE Embed ICC profile contained in FILE
-noicc Do not transfer ICC profile from PNG input file
-restart N Set restart interval in rows, or in blocks with B
-smooth N Smooth dithered input (N=1..100 is strength)
-maxmemory N Maximum memory to use (in kbytes)
-outfile name Specify name for output file
-nooverwrite Don't overwrite output file if it exists
-memdst Compress to memory instead of file (useful for benchmarking)
-report Report compression progress
-strict Treat all warnings as fatal
-verbose or -debug Emit debug output
-version Print version information and exit
Switches for wizards:
-baseline Force baseline quantization tables
-qtables FILE Use quantization tables given in FILE
-qslots N[,...] Set component quantization tables
-sample HxV[,...] Set component sampling factors
-scans FILE Create multi-scan JPEG per script FILE
