GIFINTO(1)

🎀 gifinto 🎀

okay bestie, this is GIFINTO(1) from GIFLIB Documentation — yes, the manual page for gifinto, and it’s literally here to save your GIF from stdin into a file when the size passes the threshold. 💖

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

gifinto — save GIF on stdin to file if size over set threshold. no cap, that’s the whole gig. ✨

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

gifinto [-v] [-s minsize] [-h] [outfile]

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

okay so gifinto is a program that saves stdin into a file with the given name — but only if the result file has size bigger than specified (see below). it’s giving pipeline cleanup with main character energy. 💫

this can be used to save a result under the same filename we started with in a chain of pipes. lowkey iconic. 🫶

it always reads a GIF file from stdin. always. no exceptions, bestie. 🌈

✨ OPTIONS ✨

• -v — verbose mode (show progress). enables printout of running scan lines. she’s chatty and we love that. 💬
• -s MinFileSize — if file is less than MinFileSize, it is deleted and not renamed to the given name. this will prevent killing the file we started with if the result is an empty file, or the pipeline did not complete. protective queen behavior. 🛟

the default file threshold size is 14 bytes, which is 1 bigger than GIF file stamp (6 bytes) plus a GIF file screen descriptor (7 bytes), so a GIF file with only GIF stamp and screen descriptor will not be renamed. math is mathing. 🔥

• -h — print one line of command line help, similar to Usage above. tiny help, big slay. 🎀
