       By  default,  the  image format of `file' is determined by its magic number.  To specify a
       particular image format, precede the filename with an image format name and a colon  (i.e.
       ps:image)  or  specify  the  image  type  as the filename suffix (i.e. image.ps).  Specify
       'file' as '-' for standard input or output.
