NAME

       gifdiff - compares GIF images


SYNOPSIS

       gifdiff [options] GIF-file-1 GIF-file-2


DESCRIPTION

       gifdiff compares two GIF files and determines if they appear identical.
       Differences that don't affect appearance (like colormap ordering or how
       much an animation is optimized) are not reported.

       gifdiff prints details of any differences it finds. If the GIFs are the
       same, it prints nothing. It exits with status 0 if there were  no  dif-
       ferences, 1 if there were some differences, and 2 if there was trouble.


OPTIONS

       --brief, -q
            Report only whether the GIFs differ, not the details of  the  dif-
            ferences.

       --ignore-redundancy, -w
            Do  not  report  differences  in  the  numbers of redundant frames
            (frames which do not change the displayed image).

       --ignore-background, -B
            Do not report differences in background colors.

       --help
            Print usage information and exit.

       --version
            Print the version number and some quickie warranty information and
            exit.
