Characteristics
Zint is a Command Line Interface for generating QR codes.
It is installed through brew on my day-to-day Mac.
Command structure
The command is articulated as follows:
~~~bash
zint -b <CODE NOMENCLATURE> -o <PATH> --vers=<CODE VERSION> -d "<TO ENCODE>"
~~~
All parameters are well documented on the website of the provider of zint. A QR code has nomenclature 58, for example.
The d parameter is expanded a little further in the following section.
Data to encode
Originally designed for text or URLs, QR codes can encode more complex information that can be passed on. Below is a recap of a few useful ways to use a QR code.
WiFi credentials
Encoding follows this nomenclature:
~~~bash
WIFI:S:<NAME>;T:<WEP|WPA|else...>;P:<PW>
~~~
Geo-location
Encoding with relative coordinates:
~~~bash
geo:x.xxxx,y.yyyyy
~~~
