  • -o ${path-to-output_file-png}: This specifies the output file path and name, where the generated QR code will be saved. ${path-to-output_file-png} should be replaced with the actual path to the desired output file, with the ".png" extension.

  • -r ${path-to-input_file}: This specifies the input file that will be used as the data source for generating the QR code. ${path-to-input_file} should be replaced with the actual path to the input file.
