GIFASM(1)

NAME
gifasm - assemble or disassemble multi-GIF animations

SYNOPSIS

gifasm [-v] [-a] [-d outfile] [-h] [gif-file]

OPTIONS

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

-a
    Assemble. This is the default, and the GifFile(s) are assembled to stdout. Note the screen descriptor (including screen color map) is taken from the first file, while other screen descriptors are ignored. As this tool requires at least 2 GIF files as input, no attempt will be made to read stdin if none specified on command line.

-d OutFileName
    Disassemble GifFile (if specified on command line) or stdin, into several files of the form OutFileNameXX, where XX are two decimal digits. Obviously up to 100 files can be generated this way. Note: in this mode nothing is sent to stdout.

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

If no GIF file is given, gifasm will try to read a GIF file from stdin, if in disassembly mode only (-d).
