identify(1)		     General Commands Manual		     identify(1)

NAME
     identify  -  describes  the format and characteristics of one or more image
     files.

SYNOPSIS
     magick identify [options] input-file

OVERVIEW
     The identify program is a member of the ImageMagick(1) suite of tools.   It
     describes	the  format  and  characteristics of one or more image files. It
     also reports if an image is incomplete or corrupt. The information returned
     includes the image number, the file name, the width and height of	the  im-
     age,  whether  the image is colormapped or not, the number of colors in the
     image (by default off use -define unique=true option), the number of  bytes
     in  the  image,  the format of the image (JPEG, PNM, etc.), and finally the
     number of seconds it took to read and process the image. Many more  attrib-
     utes are available with the verbose option.

     Image Operators:
       -auto-orient	    automatically orient image
       -channel mask	    set the image channel mask
       -grayscale method    convert image to grayscale
       -negate		    replace each pixel with its complementary color

     Miscellaneous Options:
       -debug events	    display copious debugging information
       -help		    print program options
       -list type	    print a list of supported option arguments
       -log format	    format of debugging information
       -version 	    print version information

     By  default,  the image format of `file' is determined by its magic number.
     To specify a particular image format, precede the filename  with  an  image
     format  name  and	a colon (i.e. ps:image) or specify the image type as the
     filename suffix (i.e. image.ps).  Specify 'file' as '-' for standard  input
     or output.

NOTE
     Although some options appear to modify the file to be identified, the iden-
     tify command is strictly read only. For instance, the crop option crops the
     in-memory image and then describes the result.
