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.
