gif2x11 1 GIFLIB GIFLIB Documentation
gif2x11 display GIF files under X window system
`gif2x11` -v -p PosX PosY -d display -f -h gif-file

## Options:

-v

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

-p PosX PosY

  Set the position of image on screen. By default the program will prompt for position.

[-d Display]

  What X server should be connected to.

[-f]

  Force attempt to allocate exact colors. This usually will result in a very muddled image if not enough colors can be allocated; the rest of them will be approximated by the closest one. By default the least bits of the colors are stripped until success (in allocation) which looks much better.

[-h]

  Print one line command line help, similar to Usage above.

If no GIF file is given, gif2X11 will try to read a GIF file from stdin. Note: this program does not read the X resource data base.
