Where can I find some helpful documentation for linux usage?

Hello @jamriska , first of all, thanks and congratulations for this incredible work!
I was truly amazed when I saw a video showing the EbSynth software running this algorithm and I'm attempting to get used to the Linux interface of the program.
I've successfully built it in my LinuxMint, based on Ubuntu 18.04.2, but now I'm having trouble to understand what each parameter does and how to use them. I couldn't find any information about them neither on the README (and the other project files) or on the ebsynth website.
Am I missing something?
Thank you!

Have you had a look at the examples code .sh scripts?

Sure, but that didn't clarify anything, as there are not even comments to explain each parameter.

I have been trying to get to know about the package without having to dig deep into the source code(do not know if it might help also), it would also be of great help to user if you can add the description in the README file

Here's an example

./ebsynth -style '../../rotoscope/keyframes/image000527.png'  -guide 'image000527.png' 'image000528.png' -output 'out000527.png'

style - this is the keyframe guide source target - the source should match the keyframe, the target is the frame you want the style to transfer to output - where you want the new image to be saved

I havent played around with the other flags, but they look like settings you can adjust.

Problem is that the current GUI way of doing things and the command seem completely different. The GUI just uses style keyframes and even masks are turned off by default. Maybe I'm missing something, but I can't seem to figure out how to get a style transfer to work as expected with the guides parameter in the command (something is happening, sure...). Then there's also the lack of (or undocument?) sequence support.

It really seems like the command is just outdated, maybe at-best using the updated code but only the stuff that the old methods used.
