giftoppm(1)                                           giftoppm(1)


NAME
       giftoppm - convert a GIF file into a portable pixmap

SYNOPSIS
       giftoppm [-verbose] [-comments] [-image N] [GIFfile]

DESCRIPTION
       Reads a GIF file for input, and outputs portable pixmap.

OPTIONS
       -verbose
              Produces verbose output about the GIF file input.

       -comments
              Only outputs GIF89 comment fields.

       -image Output  the  specified gif image from the input gif
              archive (where N is '1', '2',  '20'...).   Normally
              there is only one image per file, so this option is
              not needed.

       All flags can be abbreviated to their shortest unique pre-
       fix.

BUGS
       This does not correctly handle the Plain Text Extension of
       the GIF89 standard, since I did not have any example input
       files containing them.
