Name

giftorle - Convert GIF images to RLE format

Synopsis

giftorle [ -c ] [ -o outfile.rle ] [ infile.gif ... ]

Description

Giftorle converts a file from Graphics Interchange Format (GIF) format into RLE format. Multiple input images may be converted, these will be written sequentially to the output RLE file. The origin of a GIF image is at the upper left, while the origin of an RLE image is at the lower left. This program automatically flips the image to preserve its orientation.

Options

-c
Preserve the colormap that the GIF image contains, otherwise the colormap is applied to input image.
-o outfile.rle
If specified, the output will be written to this file. If outfile.rle is "-", or if it is not specified, the output will be written to the standard output stream.
infile.gif ...
The input will be read from these files. If infile.gif is "-" or is not specified, the input will be read from the standard input stream.

Misc
