DESCRIPTION

ftag(1) permits the user to tag a floret TIFF image in an arbitary fashion and/or display the floret tags bound to a given TIFF image.

 

OPTIONS


  -help invokes the on-line context help system. This "man" page is displayed. The process then exits.

-growth_protection <retrys> causes the system to retry an sbrk(3) call up to retrys times. This option permits the program to wait until the core that it requires is available rather than simply exiting if sbrk(3) fails.

-usage displays shortform usage string.

-version displays program version number.

-slots displays short form pups(7) library dependencies.

-slotinfo displays long form pups(7) library dependencies.

-argf argument_file tells the filter to take its command line arguments from the specified argument_file. The data format of the argument file is:

# ... optional comment line ...
-argflag [1]
argument_parameter [1,1]
argument_parameter [1,2]

argument_parameter [1,n]

# ... optional comment line ...
-argflag [2]
argument_parameter [1,1]
argument_parameter [1,2]

argument_parameter [1,n]

  -nice cardinal determimes the niceness at which the filter is scheduled. In keeping with all UNIX user processes, nice must be a cardinal between 0 and 20. The default niceness for ftag(1) is 4.

-tiff_name name specifies the name of the TIFF image whose FLORET_TIFFTAG is to be displayed and/or modified. This option is mandatory, and must be specified.

-meta_action tells ftag(1) to execute the meta action specified in the auxilliary data field of the image it has loaded. Typically this is to call a URL which will provide information on image content, or to call a filter to process the image. If other data is in the auxilliary data field, the meta action must be enclosed using % characters.

-display tells ftag(1) to display the TIFFTAG_FLORET field. If parameters within the field are updated, the contents of the field are displayed after update. Defaults to FALSE (no display, unless no update has been done in which case TIFFTAG_FLORET is always displayed).

-create tells ftag(1) to create a TIFFTAG_FLORET field (which is populated with default values for the field parameters).

-fname floret image name sets the name by which this TIFF is known to the DAISY system. This is disticnt from the file name. Defaults to notset.

-fmask floret mask name sets the name of the mask file (used by the floret(1) dynamic manifold reduction optimiser) associated with the current image.

-format image format specifies the image format. This option is used to specify unusual image formats (e.g. IEEE floating point images). For current variants of the DAISY system it should be set to standard which is the default (and encodes for a 8 bit per pixel 1 or 3 plane integer image).

-ftype image type can take two values, training in which case the DAISY system treats the image as a training set image or unknown in which case the system interprets the image as an unknown and will process it accordingly. Defaults to unknown.

-fcreate tells ftag(1) to make the creation time of the image (which is used in the computation of lifetimes) the current time.

-fkey floret image key sets the key for the floret(1) classifier. The classifier will only process this image if its key matches the internal key passed to the classifier either at initialisation or subsequently via its PSRP interface. Defaults to all.

-fid floret user (terminal) indentifier is used to identify the user (and terminal) to which DAISY is to send data on the organism it indentifies. Defaults to the username of the user who is running ftag(1).

-fmatch floret class identifier specifies the organism class this image matches. This option is intended to facilitate testing of the DAISY vhtml(1) application.

-ftag floret computation state tag specifies the sensitisation tag for the image. This tag is probed by DAISY processes in order to see if a given image is to be processed by them. No default.

-fmexthresh threshold sets the training set classifier excitation threshold for referenced image to threshold.

-ftiwin count sets the incorrect win count (used by the dynamic excitation thresholding algorithm) to count.

-fmcn threshold sets the training set cluster order threshold for referenced image to threshold.

-fciwin ets the incorrect win count (used by the dynamic cluster order thresholding algorithm) to count.

-fmsill sets the training set cluster edge (sill) threshold for referenced image to threshold.

-fsiwin ets the incorrect win count (used by the dynamic sill thresholding algorithm) to count.

-lifetime image lifetime in seconds specifies how long an image is allowed to remain in the file system before it is deleted. Defaults to 1 hour (e.g image will be deleted if it is not processed within 1 hour of submission).

 

LIBRARIES

ftag(1) uses the PUPS libraries, see pups(7)

 

BUGS

setsid(2) is used to make it easy for the PUPS exit routine to clobber the child. This means any process can send a killpg(2) to the parents process group (and clobber the child as well as the parent). This is a saftey feature which could be removed (should the need arise).
