gif2fb - display GIF file on frame buffer

gif2fb [-H] [-v] [-F frame_buffer_name] GIF_file_name

gif2fb displays on a frame buffer the images described by a CompuServe GIF (Graphics Interchange Format) file. The -F option outputs to the specified frame buffer instead of the one specified by the FB_FILE environment variable (or the default frame buffer, if FB_FILE is not set). The frame buffer size requested will be the same as the input GIF screen size. The actual size obtained depends on details of the specific frame buffer. The -H option prints the GIF screen size on stderr. The -v option prints additional information about the GIF file on stderr. The GIF_file_name specifies the GIF input file to be translated, rather than reading the file from the standard input.
