GifText
-------
Program to print (text only) general information about GIF file
Usage:
------
Usage: GifText [-q] [-c] [-e] [-z] [-p] [-r] [-h] GifFile
If no GifFile is given, GifText will try to read stdin for GIF file.
As giftext can generate huge amount of data, ^C will kill it, but 'q' will
stop only the printing (of one of -e, -z, -p), while file integrity will still
be checked.
Memory required:
----------------
Line.
Options:
--------
1. [-q] : quite mode. Default off on MSDOS, on on unix. Controls printout
of running scan lines. Use -q- to turn off.
2. [-c] : Dumps also color maps.
3. [-e] : Dumps also encoded bytes - the pixels after compressed using LZ
algorithm and chained to form bytes. This is the form the data is saved
in the GIF file. Dumps in hex - 2 digit per byte.
4. [-z] : Dumps also the LZ codes of the image. Dumps in hex - 3 digits per
code (as we are limited to 12 bits).
5. [-p] : Dumps aslo the pixels of the image. Dumps in hex - 2 digit per
pixel (<=byte).
6. [-r] : Dumps raw pixels as one byte per pixel. This option inhibit all other
options and only the pixels are dumped. This option may be used to convert
gif file into raw data. Note the color map can be extracted by gifclrmp
utility. If more than one image exists, all images will be dumped in order.
7. [-h] : print one command line help, similar to Usage above.
