NAME

       stream - a lightweight tool to stream one or more pixel components of the image or portion of the image to your choice of storage formats.

SYNOPSIS

       stream [options] input-file output-file

OVERVIEW

       Stream is a lightweight tool to stream one or more pixel components of the image or portion of the image to your choice of storage formats.
       It writes the pixel components as they are read from the input image a row at a time making stream desirable when working with large images
       or when you require raw pixel components.

       By default, the image format of `file' is determined by its magic number.  To specify a particular image format, precede the filename  with
       an  image  format name and a colon (i.e. ps:image) or specify the image type as the filename suffix (i.e. image.ps).  Specify 'file' as '-'
       for standard input or output.
