+mutool barcode
+==============
+
+The ``barcode`` command is used to either decode a barcode from an image or
+document, or to create a new barcode image.
+
+	This command may not be available!
+
+	It is only present if MuPDF was compiled with the ZXing barcode library.
+
+Decoding barcodes
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+	mutool barcode -d [options] file1.pdf [pages1] [file2.pdf [pages2] ...]
+
+``[options]``
+	Options are as follows:
+
+	``-p`` password
+		Use the specified password if the file is encrypted.
+
+	``-o`` output
+		The output file name (e.g. "output.txt"). If this option is not
+		present, any text from decoded barcodes will be printed to
+		standard out.
+
+	``-r`` rotation
+		How much to rotate the input pages in degrees (0-360), before trying to decode any barcodes.
+
+``file1`` and ``file2``, etc.
+	Input file name. The input can be any of the supported document formats.
+
+``[pages1]`` and ``pages2``, etc.
+	Comma separated list of page ranges. The first page is "1", and the last page is "N". The default is "1-N".
+
+Encoding barcodes
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+	mutool barcode -c [options] text
+
+``[options]``
+	Options are as follows:
+
+	``-o`` output
+		The output file name. PNG or PDF format is chosen depending on
+		the file extension. If none is given, the default is
+		``out.png``.
+
+	``-F`` format
+		The desired output barcode format:
+
+		- ``aztec``
+		- ``codabar``
+		- ``code39``
+		- ``code93``
+		- ``code128``
+		- ``databar``
+		- ``databarexpanded``
+		- ``datamatrix``
+		- ``ean8``
+		- ``ean13``
+		- ``itf``
+		- ``maxicode``
+		- ``pdf417``
+		- ``qrcode``
+		- ``upca``
+		- ``upce``
+		- ``microqrcode``
+		- ``rmqrcode``
+		- ``dxfilmedge``
+		- ``databarlimited``
+
+	``-s`` size
+		Set size in pixels for the output barcode. If not specified,
+		the smallest size that can be decoded is chosen.
+
+	``-q``
+		Add quiet zones around the barcode. This puts an empty margin
+		around created barcodes.
+
+	``-t``
+		Add human-readable text, when available. Some barcodes, e.g.
+		EAN-13, may have the barcode contents printed in human-readable
+		text next to the barcode, which is enabled by this flag.
+
+	``-e`` level
+		Set error correction level (0-8). Some barcodes, e.g. QR-codes,
+		support several levels of error correction, which can be
+		customized through this option.
+
+``text``
+	 The text to be encoded into a barcode.
