NAME
     giftext - dump GIF pixels and metadata as text

SYNOPSIS
     giftext [-v] [-c] [-e] [-z] [-p] [-r] [-h] [gif-file]

DESCRIPTION
     A program to dump (text only) general information about GIF file.

     If no GIF file is given, giftext will try to read a GIF file from stdin.

OPTIONS
     -v
	 Verbose mode (show progress). Enables printout of running scan lines.

     -c
	 Dumps the color maps.

     -e
	 Dumps	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.

     -z
	 Dumps	the  LZ codes of the image. Dumps in hex - 3 digits per code (as
	 we are limited to 12 bits).

     -p
	 Dumps the pixels of the image.  Dumps	in  hex  -  2  digit  per  pixel
	 (<=byte).

     -r
	 Dumps	raw pixels as one byte per pixel. This option inhibits all other
	 options and only the pixels are dumped. This option may be used to con-
	 vert GIF files into raw data. Note: the color map can be  extracted  by
	 gifclrmp  utility.  If more than one image is included in the file, all
	 images will be dumped in order.

     -h
	 Print one line of command line help, similar to Usage above.
