<variablelist>
<varlistentry>
<term>-v</term>
<listitem>
<para> Verbose mode (show progress).
Enables printout of running scan lines.</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term>-a</term>
<listitem>
<para> 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.</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term>-d OutFileName</term>
<listitem>
<para> 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.</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term>-h</term>
<listitem>
<para> Print one line of command line help, similar to Usage
above.</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
</variablelist>

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