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.
