Wrapper/entrypoint around the other executables of the MKVToolNix package

# Synopsis

       mkvtoolnix
       command
       options

## Description

This program acts as a wrapper or entrypoint around the other executables in the MKVToolNix package. It is used for package formats and distribution methods where only a single executable can be the set as the program to execute (e.g. Flatpak or the Microsoft Store). The first argument can then be the actual program to execute, e.g. &mkvmerge;, and the rest of the arguments are passed through as they are.

The first argument can be the name of the program to execute. The following names are recognized, each with an optional `.exe` extension:

- `mkvmerge` or `merge` for &mkvmerge;

- `mkvinfo` or `info` for &mkvinfo;

- `mkvextract` or `extract` for &mkvextract;

- `mkvpropedit` or `propedit` for &mkvpropedit;

- `mkvtoolnix-gui`

- `bluray_dump`

- `ebml_validator`

- `hevcc_dump`

- `xvc_dump`

If the first argument is none of the recognized program names, the program `mkvtoolnix-gui` will be run.
