# zsteg -h
Usage: zsteg [options] filename.png [param_string]
-a, --all try all known methods
-E, --extract NAME extract specified payload, NAME is like '1b,rgb,lsb'
Iteration/extraction params:
-o, --order X pixel iteration order (default: 'auto')
valid values: ALL,xy,yx,XY,YX,xY,Xy,bY,...
-c, --channels X channels (R/G/B/A) or any combination, comma separated
valid values: r,g,b,a,rg,bgr,rgba,r3g2b3,...
-b, --bits N number of bits, single int value or '1,3,5' or range '1-8'
advanced: specify individual bits like '00001110' or '0x88'
--lsb least significant bit comes first
--msb most significant bit comes first
-P, --prime analyze/extract only prime bytes/pixels
--shift N prepend N zero bits
--step N step
--invert invert bits (XOR 0xff)
--pixel-align pixel-align hidden data
Analysis params:
-l, --limit N limit bytes checked, 0 = no limit (default: 256)
--[no-]file use 'file' command to detect data type (default: YES)
--no-strings disable ASCII strings finding (default: enabled)
-s, --strings X ASCII strings find mode: first, all, longest, none
(default: first)
-n, --min-str-len X minimum string length (default: 8)
