DESCRIPTION
The sxpm program can be used to view any XPM (version 2 or
3) file and/or to convert a file from XPM1 and XPM2 to XPM
version 3. If sxpm is run with any dummy option specified,
the usage is displayed. If no geometry is specified, the
show window will have the size of the read pixmap. Press-
ing the key Q in the window will quit the program.

input if filename is ’-’. If no input is speci-
fied sxpm reads from standard input.

-o filename
Write to the file filename (overwrite if it
already exists) and to standard output if filename

Search color names in the file filename and write
them out instead of the rgb values.

KNOWN BUGS
Some window managers may not accept a pixmap which is not
a bitmap as icon because this does not respect ICCCM, many
of the well known ones will accept it though.
