NAME

6       gifdiff - compares GIF images

SYNOPSIS

9       gifdiff [options] GIF-file-1 GIF-file-2
10

DESCRIPTION

12       gifdiff compares two GIF files and determines if they appear identical.
13       Differences that don't affect appearance (like colormap ordering or how
14       much an animation is optimized) are not reported.
15
16       gifdiff prints details of any differences it finds. If the GIFs are the
17       same, it prints nothing. It exits with status 0 if there were  no  dif‐
18       ferences, 1 if there were some differences, and 2 if there was trouble.
