NAME

       pnginfo - display information on the PNG files named

SYNOPSIS

       pnginfo [-t] [-d] [-D] <filenames>

DESCRIPTION

       This  command  dumps  information about the PNG files named on the command line. This command's output is
       based on the output of the tiffinfo command, which is part of the libtiff distribution. Each line  output
       by the command represents a value that has been set within the PNG file.

       The  -t  command  line  option  forces  pnginfo to use libtiff tiffinfo style lables, instead of the more
       relevant png names. The -d command line option dumps the bitmap contained by the image to  standard  out,
       whilst the -D command merely checks that the image bitmap could be extracted from the file. If nothing is
       reported by -D, then there was no error.

       The format for the output bitmaps is hexadecimal, with each pixel presented as a triple --  for  instance
       [red  green  blue].  This  means  that  paletted images et cetera will have their bitmaps expanded before
       display.

RETURNS

       Nothing.
