+SYNOPSIS
+========
+
+**jbig2** [*-options*] *imagefile* > *output.jb2*
+
+DESCRIPTION
+===========
+
+JBIG2 is an image compression standard from the same people who brought
+you the JPEG format. It compresses 1bpp (black and white) images only.
+
+jbig2enc is a library that encodes JBIG2 images.
+
+**jbig2** is a command-line tool that uses the jbig2enc library to convert an
+image to the JBIG2 format. *imagefile* can be in any format readable by
+leptonica (png, jpeg, tiff, gif, webp, jp2, bmp, pnm, spix). The image
+is converted to 1bbp (monochrome) before processing.
+
+Without the *-p*, *--pdf* option, the converted image is written to
+standard output. This should be redirected to a file, normally with
+the *.jb2* extension. If stdout isn't redirected to a file (or a pipe),
+the JBIG2 data will be written to the terminal, which may get confused.
+
+There is no way to have **jbig2** read an image file on standard input. This
+is by design, as it needs to seek within the file.
+
+All options must appear before the filename. With the generic encoder
+(no *-s* option), anything after the filename is silently ignored. The
+symbol encoder (*-s*) can handle multiple images (which end up as pages
+in the JBIG2 file).
+
+The *-r*, *--refine* option mentioned in the documentation and in
+the *--help* output of **jbig2** is *disabled* in this version of
+**jbig2**.
+
+OPTIONS
+=======
+
+.. some of these are from the HTML file, some from --help.
+
+-b *basename*
+ Output file root name when using symbol coding in PDF mode (*-s*
+ and *-p*). Default is **output**.
+
+-d, --duplicate-line-removal
+ When encoding generic regions each scan line can be tagged to indicate
+ that it's the same as the last scanline - and encoding that scanline
+ is skipped. This drastically reduces the encoding time (by a factor
+ of about 2 on some images) although it doesn't typically save any
+ bytes. This is an option because some versions of jbig2dec (an open
+ source decoding library) cannot handle this.
+
+-p, --pdf
+ The PDF spec includes support for JBIG2 (Syntax->Filters->JBIG2Decode in
+ the PDF references for versions 1.4 and above). However, PDF requires
+ a slightly different format for JBIG2 streams: no file/page headers or
+ trailers and all pages are numbered 1. In symbol mode the output is to
+ a series of files: symboltable and page-n (numbered from 0). By default
+ these are named **output.sym** and **output.0000**, **output.0001**,
+ etc. Use *-b* to change the base filename.
+
+-s, --symbol-mode
+ Use symbol encoding. Turn on for scanned text pages.
+
+-t *threshold*
+ Sets the fraction of pixels which have to match in order for
+ two symbols to be classed the same. This isn't strictly true, as there are
+ other tests as well, but increasing this will generally increase the number
+ of symbol classes. Default is 0.85.
+
+-T *threshold*
+ Sets the black threshold (0-255). Any gray value darker than
+ this is considered black. Anything lighter is considered white.
+ Default is 188.
+
+-O *outfile*
+ Dump a PNG of the 1 bpp image before encoding. Can be used to
+ test loss.
+
+-2, -4
+ Upscale either two or four times before converting to black and
+ white.
+
+-S
+ Segment an image into text and non-text regions. This isn't perfect, but
+ running text through the symbol compressor is terrible so it's worth doing
+ if your input has images in it (like a magazine page).
+
+--image-output
+ Set filename to which the parts which were removed by -S are written.
+ Default is PNG format.
+
+-j, --jpeg-output
+ Write images from -S as JPEG instead of PNG.
+
+-a, --auto-thresh
+ Use automatic thresholding in symbol encoder.
+
+--no-hash
+ Disables use of hash function for automatic thresholding.
+
+-v
+ Be verbose.
+
+-V, --version
+ Display version number and exit.
+
+-h, --help
+ Display help and exit.
+
+EXIT STATUS
+===========
+
+**jbig2** exits with 0 (success) status if the conversion completed
+OK, and non-zero status if anything went wrong. If standard output was
+redirected to a file, the file will be empty or invalid when non-zero
+status is returned. Diagnostic messages are printed to standard error.
