DESCRIPTION
slidetool uses OpenSlide to retrieve data from whole slide images, also
known as virtual slide files.
slidetool assoc icc read
Write the associated image's ICC color profile to output-file if
specified, and otherwise to standard output. If no ICC color profile
is available, fail.
slidetool assoc list
List associated images for one or more slides. Associated images are
small non-pyramidal images containing additional information about the
slide, such as its label.
slidetool assoc read
Write the associated image with the specified name to a PNG image. If
output-file is not specified, the image will be written to standard
output.
slidetool prop get
Print a single OpenSlide property value for one or more slides.
Properties are individual pieces of textual metadata about the slide.
Properties prefixed with openslide. are defined by OpenSlide; others
are defined by the individual slide format.
slidetool prop list
Print all OpenSlide properties for one or more slides.
slidetool region icc read
Write the slide's ICC color profile to output-file if specified, and
otherwise to standard output. If no ICC color profile is available,
fail.
slidetool region read
Write a region of the specified level of a slide to a PNG image. x and
y are pixel coordinates in level 0, the highest-resolution slide level.
width and height are pixel dimensions in the specified level. If
output-file is not specified, the image will be written to standard
output.
The dimensions of each level of a slide can be obtained with slidetool
prop list.
slidetool slide open
Check whether OpenSlide can open one or more slide files.
slidetool slide quickhash1
Print OpenSlide quickhash-1 checksums for one or more slides, in a
format similar to sha256sum(1).
quickhash-1 is a non-cryptographic, 256-bit hash of a subset of a
slide's data. It uniquely identifies a particular slide, but cannot be
used to detect corruption or modification of the slide file.
quickhash-1 is not defined for all slide files supported by OpenSlide.
If a slide does not have a quickhash-1, "No quickhash-1 available" will
be printed.
slidetool slide vendor
Report the detected OpenSlide vendor name for one or more slide files.
OPTIONS
--help Display usage summary.
--names
For slidetool prop list, omit property values.
--version

EXIT STATUS
slidetool returns 0 on success, 1 if a slide file could not be read, or
2 if the arguments are invalid.
