Chapter 20. Using the Command Line
Inkscape has the ability to batch process SVG files without opening up the Graphics User Interface (GUI). The available options can be divided into a few categories: general commands, exporting commands (including printing), and query commands.
Most options have two forms: a short form preceded by one dash and a long form proceeded by two dashes. Some options take parameters that can (usually) either be attached to the option with an ’=’ sign (e.g., --export-png=my.png) or separated by a space (e.g., --export-png my.png).
