NAME
rleselect - Select images from an RLE file.
SYNOPSIS
rleselect [ -i infile ] [ -o outfile ] [ -v ] [ image-
numbers ... ]
DESCRIPTION
This program selects images from an RLE(5) file containing
multiple concatenated images. The selected images are
specified by number; the first image in the file is number
1. A negative number in the image-numbers list means that
all images from the previous number in the list to the
absolute value of this number should be included. A zero in
the list is taken as '-infinity', so that all images from
the previous number to the last image in the file will be
included. To try to clarify this, some examples are
included below.
OPTIONS
-i infile
The input will be read from this file. If infile is
"-" or is not specified, the input will be read from
the standard input stream.
-o outfile
If specified, the output will be written to this file.
If outfile is "-", or if it is not specified, the
output will be written to the standard output stream.
-v Verbose output.
