DESCRIPTION
is a cross-platform digital camera library, and is a
command-line client for it.
Where an option takes a range of files, thumbnails, or
other data, they are numbered beginning at 1. A range is a
comma-separated list of numbers or spans (``first-last'').
Ranges are XOR (exclusive or), so that ``1-5,3,7'' is
equivalent to ``1,2,4,5,7''.
