## CLI Usage

### ASTC

```sh
$ node ./bin/texture-compressor -i input/example.png -t astc -c ASTC_4x4 -q astcmedium -o output/example-astc.ktx -y -m -vb
```

### ETC

```sh
$ node ./bin/texture-compressor -i input/example.png -t etc -c ETC2_RGB -q etcfast -o output/example-etc.ktx -y -m -vb
```

### PVRTC

```sh
$ node ./bin/texture-compressor -i input/example.png -t pvrtc -c PVRTC1_2 -q pvrtcnormal -o output/example-pvrtc.ktx -y -m -vb
```

### S3TC

```sh
$ node ./bin/texture-compressor -i input/example.png -t s3tc -c DXT1 -q normal -o output/example-s3tc.ktx -y -m -vb
```

## Module usage

```js
const { pack } = require('./dist/cli/lib/index');

pack({
  type: 'astc',
  input: 'input/example.png',
  output: 'output/example-astc.ktx',
  compression: 'ASTC_4x4',
  quality: 'astcmedium',
  verbose: true,
}).then(() => console.log('done!'));
```

## Flags

### Required

    -i, --input [example: ./input/example.png] [required]
    -o, --output [example: ./output/example.ktx] [required]
    -t, --type [example: astc, etc, pvrtc, s3tc] [required]
    -c, --compression [example: ASTC_4x4, ETC2_RGB, PVRTC1_2, DXT1] [required]
    -q, --quality [example: astcmedium, etcfast, pvrtcnormal, normal] [required]

### Optional

    -vb, --verbose [true / false, default: false] [not required]

    -rs, --square ['no', '-', '+', default: +] [not required]
    -rp, --pot ['no', '-', '+', default: +] [not required]
    -m, --mipmap [true / false, default: false] [not required]
    -y, --flipY [tue / false, default: false] [not required]

### Tool flags

Tool flags are not processed by `texture-compressor` but rather directly by the binary you are targeting itself.

For example adding `--flags ["usesourceformat DXT1A" "alphaThreshold 200"]` will pass `usesourceformat DXT1A` and `alphaThreshold 200` directly to `Crunch`.

Please be aware that these flags are tool specific and can therefore not be directly applied to the other binaries.

    -f, --flags ["flag value" "flag value"] [not required]

To find tool specific flags please refer to the manuals of [ASTC](http://cdn.imgtec.com/sdk-documentation/PVRTexTool.User+Manual.pdf), [ETC](http://cdn.imgtec.com/sdk-documentation/PVRTexTool.User+Manual.pdf), [PVRTC](http://cdn.imgtec.com/sdk-documentation/PVRTexTool.User+Manual.pdf), [S3TC](https://github.com/BinomialLLC/crunch/blob/235946f7a1cf8b9c97e8bf0e8062d5439a51dec7/crunch/crunch.cpp#L70-L181).
