NAME
      giftorle - Convert GIF images to RLE format

 SYNOPSIS
      giftorle [ -c ] [ -o outfile.rle ] [ infile.gif ... ]

 DESCRIPTION
      Giftorle converts a file from Graphics
      Interchange Format (GIF) format into RLE
      format.  Images converted with giftorle will
      need to be flipped with rleflip -v for
      correct presentation.  Multiple input images
      may be converted, these will be written
      sequentially to the output RLE file.

 OPTIONS
      -c   Preserve the colormap that the GIF image
           contains, otherwise the colormap is
           applied to input image.

      -o outfile.rle
           If specified, the output will be written
           to this file.  If outfile.rle is "-", or
           if it is not specified, the output will
           be written to the standard output
           stream.

      infile.gif ...
           The input will be read from these files.
           If infile.gif is "-" or is not
           specified, the input will be read from
           the standard input stream.

 BUGS
      Should probably flip the image itself (or at
      least have an option).
