Info

QRrs is a simple, cross-platform, command-line utility written in rust for working with qr codes (what actually follows from the name).

Usage

Quickly generate qr code

qrrs "Your input here"

Generate code, than read it

qrrs "Something" /tmp/qr.png
$ qrrs --read /tmp/qr.png
Something

Print generated code to term

qrrs -t "Something" /tmp/qr.png

Save it into another file

qrrs --read --terminal /tmp/qr.png /tmp/qr1.png

Almost the same result will be without terminal flag, but now instead of QrCode printed in terminal we will see text from it.

qrrs --read /tmp/qr.png /tmp/qr1.png

Create code using pipeline

Use "-" to signalize passing data via stdin.

$ echo "something" | qrrs - /tmp/something.png
$ qrrs -r /tmp/something.png
something

Invert colors

Create code specifying it's margin
