MKVTOOLNIX(1)

NAME
mkvtoolnix - Wrapper/entrypoint around the other executables of the MKVToolNix package

SYNOPSIS

mkvtoolnix [command] [options]

DESCRIPTION

This program acts as a wrapper or entrypoint around the other executables in the MKVToolNix package. It is used for package formats and distribution methods where only a single executable can be the set as the program to execute (e.g. Flatpak or the Microsoft Store). The first argument can then be the actual program to execute, e.g. mkvmerge(1), and the rest of the arguments are passed through as they are.

The first argument can be the name of the program to execute. The following names are recognized, each with an optional .exe extension:

    • mkvmerge or merge for mkvmerge(1)

    • mkvinfo or info for mkvinfo(1)

    • mkvextract or extract for mkvextract(1)

    • mkvpropedit or propedit for mkvpropedit(1)

    • mkvtoolnix-gui

    • bluray_dump

    • ebml_validator

    • hevcc_dump

    • xyzvc_dump

If the first argument is none of the recognized program names, the program mkvtoolnix-gui will be run.
