Nothing to see here, move along…The Supersede utility is a console application that can be used from a terminal (such as the Command Prompt in Windows, or Windows Terminal), a script (such as a batch file), or another program like Xrev Transmit.

The utility provides several commands that specify the action to be performed (for example, File to process a specific file, or Folder to process all files in a specific folder), as well as options that modify the utility’s default behaviour (for example, --Dry-Run to test a command without actually doing anything).

You can see a list of the supported commands and options with help.
