Description

Siril is an image processing tool specially tailored for noise reduction and improving the signal/noise ratio of an image from multiple captures, as required in astronomy. Siril can align, stack and enhance pictures from various file formats, even image sequences (movies and SER files). It makes use of OpenMP, supports all the cameras supported by libraw, and carries out its calculations in a high precision 32-bit floating point engine.

Options 

   -i     Starts Siril with configuration file  which  path  is  given  in
          conf_file

   -f     (or  --format) Prints all supported image input formats, depend‐
          ing on the libraries detected at compile-time

   -v     (or --version) Prints program name and version and exits
   
   -c     (or --copyright) Prints copyright and exits

   -h     (or --help) Short usage help

   -p     Starts Siril without the graphical user interface  and  use  the
          named  pipes to accept commands and print logs and status infor‐
          mation. On  POSIX  systems,  the  named  pipes  are  created  in
          /tmp/siril_commands.in and /tmp/siril_commands.out
          
   -r     (or --inpipe) Provide an alternative path for the input pipe that 
          receives the commands, if -p is passed. The pipe can be create by 
          an  external program with the mkfifo(1) command

   -w     (or --outpipe) Provide an alternative path for the output pipe 
          that prints logs and status updates, if -p is passed. The pipe can 
          be create by an external program with the mkfifo(1) command

   -d     (or --directory) Setting argument in cwd

   -s     (or  --script) Starts Siril without the graphical user interface
          and run a script instead. Scripts are text files that contain  a
          list  of  commands  to be executed sequentially. In these files,
          lines starting with a # are considered as comments.

   image_file_to_open
          Open an image or sequence file right after start-up

Files 

   ~/.config/siril/siril.cfg
          User preferences. Overridden by the -i option.
   ~/.siril/siril.css
          The stylesheet used to change colours of the graphical user  in‐
          terface. This is useful for personalisation or if a GTK theme is
          incompatible with some coloured elements of Siril.
