sho - display an image from any supported image file format
sho [options] file...
sho brings image(s) from a large variety of image file formats into a frame buffer. sho automatically determines and decodes the file format, so the user does not need to know the format. New options can be used before each filename.
sho can read images from stdin, using a filename -. However, some file formats do not have well-defined end-of-file characteristics, so it is often not possible to read more than one file from stdin from a single command line.
Some file formats include multiple images in the same file. For example, texture files contain copies of the image at multiple resolutions. Such alternate images can be read by appending ,n to the filename where n is a small integer that identifies the n-th image in the file.
sho was rewritten for RPS 16 and is now based on IceMan.
The current release of sho can read the following image file formats:
BMP DPX GIF HDR JPEG MayaIFF OpenEXR PIC PNG PPM Pixar DeepData Pixar Texture SGI TGA TIFF XPM Z-File
sho is not as general as the various dspy programs that it may seem to replace.
