NAME
       xv - interactive image display for the X Window System

SYNTAX
       xv [options] [filename[filename...]]

DESCRIPTION
       The  xv  program displays images in the GIF, JPEG, TIFF, PBM, PGM, PPM,
       X11 bitmap, Utah Raster Toolkit RLE, PDS/VICAR,  Sun  Rasterfile,  BMP,
       PCX,  IRIS RGB, XPM, Targa, XWD, possibly PostScript, and PM formats on
       workstations and terminals running the X Window System, Version 11.

       The documentation for XV is now distributed only as a PostScript  file,
       as  it  has  gotten  enormous, and is no longer very well suited to the
       'man' page format.  Print a copy of the (100-ish page) manual found  in
       docs/xvdocs.ps.   If  you are unable to get the manual to print on your
       printer, you may purchase a printed copy of the XV  manual.   Click  on
       'About XV' in the program to get further information.

       If  you  don't  have the PostScript file, it is part of the standard XV
       distribution, the latest version of which can be obtained via anonymous
       ftp from ftp.cis.upenn.edu in the directory pub/xv
