imgvinfo1

Usage

Overview

imgvinfo is a simple tool for extracting and displaying a couple things from a Pilot Image Viewer pdb file; the name, creation time, last modified time, last backup time, version, type, last position, anchor position, image size, and the note (if present) are extracted and printed on the standard output.

The creation time and mod time are incorrect most of the time; all of the Image Viewer pdb files that I've come across have 1907-08-16 19:38:22 (UTC) here and that makes no sense at all. However, if you've created an image pdb with pgmtoimgv(1) or pbmtoimgv(1), these times will be correct.

This program was originally written to test some .pdb header parsing code but it may be a usefull little tool anyway.
