Usage

gif2bmp [ -h ] [ -i <input_file> ] [ -o <output_file> ] [ -l <log_file> ]
        -i <file>       input *.gif file (default value: stdin)
        -o <file>       output *.bmp file (default value: stdout)
        -l <file>       log file
        -h              help

Implementation

• Library could read files in graphics format GIF in version 87a and 89a
• GIF file could be static or animated from 1 to 8 bit color format
• Output BMP file doesn't contain RLE compression
• Translation is is done using Makefile by typping make into command line
• Due to portability there are used predefined types int8_t, u_int32_t etc., defined in library sys/types.h
