NAME

       imgvinfo - extract and display data of a Pilot Image Viewer pdb header.

SYNOPSIS

       imgvinfo [-h] [-v] [-t fmt] [-{u|l}] [in [...]]

DESCRIPTION

       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.

OPTIONS

       -h     Display a short usage message and exit.

       -v     Display the version and exit.

       -t fmt Specify  the  time  format.   The default is "%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S"
              (the ISO8601  standard).   See  strftime(3)  for  the  available
              format codes.

       -u     Output times in UTC rather than the local time zone.

       -l     Output times in the local time zone (default).

       in     The  input file.  The standard input is read by default.  A file
              name of - means the standard input.
