β¨ GIFFIX(1) β¨
okay bestie, gather round, because we're looking at giffix from the GIFLIB Documentation era β this one's a lil vintage, dated 2 May 2012, and it's giving "emergency room for GIFs" energy π
πΈ NAME πΈ
giffix β attempt to fix up broken GIFs π©ΉπΌοΈ
π SYNOPSIS π
giffix [-v] [-h] [gif-file]
π DESCRIPTION π
so. a program that attempts to fix broken GIF images. that's the whole vibe. it's not a miracle worker, it's a "we'll do what we can" queen π
currently, what it does is "fix" images that got terminated prematurely by filling the rest of the image with the darkest color found in the image. like, the image got cut off mid-sentence and giffix is just like "okay bestie, we're painting the rest of this in the darkest shade we can find, hope that's cool" πβ¨
if no GIF file is given, giffix will try to read a GIF file from stdin.
the fixed file gets dumped to stdout. so like, redirect it somewhere or it just goes splat onto your terminal, iykyk π«Ά
π₯ OPTIONS π₯
-tβ verbose mode (show progress). enables printout of running scan lines. it literally tells you what it's doing, which is so valid of it π-hβ print one line of command line help, similar to Usage above. short, sweet, iconic π
ngl, the synopsis up there says[-v]and this list says-tβ not me noticing π but we're reporting it exactly as the manpage wrote it, periodt. no cap.
