NAME

       stream - a lightweight tool to stream one or more pixel components of the image or portion
       of the image to your choice of storage formats.

SYNOPSIS

       stream [options] input-file output-file

OVERVIEW

       Stream is a lightweight tool to stream one or  more  pixel  components  of  the  image  or
       portion of the image to your choice of storage formats.  It writes the pixel components as
       they are read from the input image a row at a time making stream  desirable  when  working
       with large images or when you require raw pixel components.

       Miscellaneous Options:
         -debug events        display copious debugging information
         -help                print program options
         -log format          format of debugging information
         -list type           print a list of supported option arguments
         -version             print version information

       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.
