historically) to specify filters and their parameters.
Filters can be manipulated at run time. You can use ``@`` labels as described
above in combination with the ``vf`` command (see `COMMAND INTERFACE`_) to get

You can also set defaults for each filter. The defaults are applied before the

filter list.
``--vf-add=<filter1[,filter2,...]>``
Appends the filters given as arguments to the filter list.
``--vf-add=filter``
Appends the filter given as arguments to the filter list. (Passing multiple
filters is currently still possible, but deprecated.)

Deletes the filter. The filter can even given the way it was added (filter

possible, but deprecated.)
