NAME

       gifdiff - compares GIF images

SYNOPSIS

       gifdiff [options] GIF-file-1 GIF-file-2

DESCRIPTION

       gifdiff  compares  two  GIF  files and determines if they appear identical. Differences that don't affect
       appearance (like colormap ordering or how much an animation is optimized) are not reported.

       gifdiff prints details of any differences it finds. If the GIFs are the same, it prints nothing. It exits
       with status 0 if there were no differences, 1 if there were some differences, and 2 if there was trouble.

OPTIONS

       --brief, -q
            Report only whether the GIFs differ, not the details of the differences.

       --ignore-redundancy, -w
            Do  not  report  differences  in  the  numbers  of  redundant frames (frames which do not change the
            displayed image).

       --ignore-background, -B
            Do not report differences in background colors.

       --help
            Print usage information and exit.

       --version
            Print the version number and some quickie warranty information and exit.
