Attempt to fix up broken gifs

Usage

giffix [-v] [-h] [gif-file]

Overview

A program that attempts to fix broken GIF images. Currently will "fix" images terminated prematurely by filling the rest of the image with the darkest color found in the image.

If no GIF file is given, giffix will try to read a GIF file from stdin. The fixed file is dumped to stdout.

Options

-t
