NAME
       xv - interactive image display for the X Window System

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

DESCRIPTION
       The  xv  program  displays images on workstations and terminals running
       the X Window System, Version 11.  Supported image formats include  PBM,
       PGM,  PPM,  X11  bitmap,  XWD, XPM, Utah Raster Toolkit RLE, PDS/VICAR,
       FITS, Sun Rasterfile, GIF, PCX, Targa/TGA, BMP, WBMP, IRIS  RGB,  Spec-
       trum  SCREEN$,  PM,  and  optionally  PNG,  JPEG, JPEG 2000, JP2, TIFF,
       PostScript, PDF, G3 fax, MAG, PIC, MAKI (640x400), PI, and PIC2.

       Aside from the usage screen (available by typing 'xv -help' at the com-
       mand  line),  documentation  for  XV  is  now  distributed  only  as  a
       PostScript (or PDF) 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  fur-
       ther 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  from
       http://www.trilon.com/xv/  or  via anonymous ftp from ftp.cis.upenn.edu
       in the directory pub/xv .

       This version has been patched with the XV Jumbo Patches, available from
       http://pobox.com/~newt/greg_xv.html.
