NAME
      rlehdr - Prints the header of an RLE file

 SYNOPSIS
      rlehdr [ -b ] [ -ccomment-names ] [ -d ] [ -m ] [ -v ] [ files ... ]

 DESCRIPTION
      This program prints the header of RLE(5)
      files in a human readable form.  If the
      optional files argument is not supplied,
      input is read from standard input.

 OPTIONS
      -b   Print the information in a "brief" one-
           line form.  The form of the output line
           is
           name: [l,b]+[xs,ys]xnc+A, BG=color,
           map=NxL, (C)
           Where [l,b] is the position of the
           lower-left corner of the image, [xs,ys]
           is the size of the image in pixels, nc
           is the number of channels saved, +A is
           present if an alpha channel is saved.
           BG= or OV= indicate that a background
           color was saved; OV= means that the
           existing background is not cleared to
           the background color before the image is
           read (this was used for a cheap form of
           compositing, but is basically obsolete
           now).  color is the saved background
           color.  The map= entry will be present
           only if a color map was saved; N is the
           number of channels in the color map and
           L is the length of the map.  Finally (C)
           is appended if there are comments
           present.

      -c comment-names
           If a comment identified by any of the
           words in the comma-separated list
           comment-names is present in the input
           file, its first line will be printed.
           Each name is tried, in turn, and only
           the first match is printed.  If no match
           is found, but comments are present, (C)
           will be printed.  The -c flag implies
           -b.

      -d   Dump a very verbose version of the image
           contents as text to the standard error
           output stream.

      -m   Print out the color map information.  -v
           Prints the raster toolkit version and
           patch level.  No input files will be
           processed if this option is given.

 EXAMPLES
      rlehdr image.rle
           Print the header information for all
           images in the file image.rle.

      rlehdr -m image.rle
           Also print the color map contents, if
           one is present.

      rlehdr -b *.rle
           Print one line summaries of all the
           images in the directory.

      rlehdr -c title,TITLE *.rle
           Print one line summaries of all the
           images, and print the title of any that
           have a title comment.
