The tools include programs to clip, rotate, scale, and position GIF images. It includes an X11 viewer, and code to dump GIFs to an Epson-compatible printer in graphics mode, and several conversion utilities. The library includes program-callable entry points for reading and writing GIF files, an 8x8 utility font for embedding text in GIFs, and an error handler. GIF manipulation can be done at a relatively low level by sequential I/O (which automatically does/undoes image compression) or at a higher level by slurping an entire GIF into allocated core. See /usr/local/share/doc/giflib directory for more information on GIFLIB's capabilities.
