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
       differences, 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 differences.

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

       --help
	    Print usage information and exit.

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