NAME

rleselect - Select images from an RLE file.

SYNOPSIS

rleselect [ -i infile ] [ -o outfile ] [ -v ] [ image-numbers ... ]

DESCRIPTION

This program selects images from an RLE(5) file containing multiple concatenated images. The selected images are specified by number; the first image in the file is number 1. A negative number in the image-numbers list means that all images from the previous number in the list to the absolute value of this number should be included. A zero in the list is taken as '-infinity', so that all images from the previous number to the last image in the file will be included. To try to clarify this, some examples are included below.

OPTIONS

-i infile: The input will be read from this file. If infile is "-" or is not specified, the input will be read from the standard input stream.
-o outfile: If specified, the output will be written to this file. If outfile is "-", or if it is not specified, the output will be written to the standard output stream.
-v: Verbose output.

EXAMPLES

rleselect 1 4 5: Selects image 1, 4, and 5.
rleselect 4 1 5: Also selects image 1, 4, and 5.
rleselect 1 -4 5: Selects images 1 through 4 and 5 (i.e., 1 through 5).
rleselect 3 0: Selects images 3 through the last.
rleselect -4: Selects images 1 through 4.
