NAME
     xv - interactive image display for the X Window System

SYNTAX
     xv [ options ] [ filename [ filename... ] ]

DESCRIPTION
     The  xv program displays images on workstations and terminals running the X
     Window System, Version 11.  Supported image formats include PBM, PGM,  PPM,
     X11 bitmap, XWD, XPM, Utah Raster Toolkit RLE, PDS/VICAR, FITS, Sun Raster-
     file,  GIF,  PCX, Targa/TGA, BMP, WBMP, IRIS RGB, Spectrum SCREEN$, PM, and
     optionally PNG, JPEG, JPEG 2000, JP2, TIFF, PostScript, PDF, G3  fax,  MAG,
     PIC, MAKI (640x400), PI, and PIC2.

     Aside  from the usage screen (available by typing 'xv -help' at the command
     line), documentation for XV is now distributed only  as  a  PostScript  (or
     PDF)  file,  as it has gotten enormous and is no longer very well suited to
     the 'man' page format.  Print a copy of the (100-ish page) manual found  in
     docs/xvdocs.ps.   If  you	are  unable  to  get the manual to print on your
     printer, you may purchase a printed copy of the XV manual.  Click on 'About
     XV' in the program to get further information.

     If you don't have the PostScript file, it is part of the standard	XV  dis-
     tribution,   the	latest	 version   of	which	can   be  obtained  from
     https://xv.trilon.com or via anonymous ftp from  ftp.cis.upenn.edu  in  the
     directory pub/xv .

     This  version  has  been  patched with the XV Jumbo Patches, available from
     http://pobox.com/~newt/greg_xv.html.
