General Notes

• Arguments that take lists have their elements separated by commas. For example, -i files means -i file1,file2,…​. Empty lists are not allowed. For example, there must be at least one file in the list file1,file2,…​.

• You can run any tool with the -h option to get a help summary.

• There must be no shell or OS delimiter characters in the path names of FPP files. In particular, you should replace spaces with dashes or underscores in (1) the names of any FPP files and (2) the names of any directories that transitively contain FPP files. Similarly for ', ", ,, /, :, etc.

• You must use care when the paths of files presented to the FPP tools contain symbolic links or aliased hard links. See FPP User’s Guide, § 13.8.
