identifying input files configuration file configuration file zero one or more configurations files source the source source parameter specifies the location of image files to read barcodes from multiple sources can be specified sources can be local image file local folder web based image the source name should start with http // http // , htpps\ // htpps\ // the rules for source values are the value of the source should use utf 8 to represent non english file names the value containing spaces should be enclosed in double quotes ( "" "" ) the value containing environmental and user docid\ lcj sxpqwhwur1q 9vvgz expanded at runtime options option rules most options are specified as name=value name=value , except options with a value described as a flag are specified as name name the d d option is specified as d="macro name=macro value" d="macro name=macro value" if the value is described as a list , zero or more valid values can be set multiple values should be separated by a comma (,) no spaces are allowed in the list all options (except type type ) are optional a new option value (except output output ) replaces the previous value an empty string value sets the option to its default value for options specifying file names output output and output text output text if the value contains spaces, it should be enclosed in double quotes ( "" "" ) environmental and user macro references are expanded at runtime the order of the options on the command line and in configuration files is important reader options and source options should be specified before the source source parameter thus different options can be applied to individual sources output options that apply to output should be specified before the output output option thus, different options can be applied to individual outputs reader options reader options configure the barcode reader parameters to be applied to a source 111,289,113 true unhandled content type unhandled content type unhandled

configuration file a configuration file is a convenient way to define a set of options and/or sources shared by multiple systems or sessions for example, they can be used to define macros specific to a system, such as the location of source or output files define reader options applied to sources specified on a command line zero or more configuration files can be set on the command line multiple files are processed in the order of appearance the format rules for configuration files are name name sets command line flags name=value name=value sets command line options with values d="macro
