✨ GIFFILTER(1) ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to giffilter — part of the GIFLIB Documentation collection 🎀

🌸 NAME 🌸

giffilter — the expensive way to copy a GIF, and honestly? a whole model for filter utilities 💅

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

giffilter

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

so like. it copies a GIF. that's the vibe. but it does it in an expensive way, bestie — no cap 😭

the source is included as a skeleton for more sophisticated filters, so if you wanna build something fancier on top of it, that's literally the blueprint. check the source in the util directory for the deets 👑

it also has some utility as a test of the sequential GIF record I/O routines. and here's the part that matters: the output should be bytewise identical to the input. periodt. if it isn't, something is deeply not slaying 💀
