CXPM(1)                                                   CXPM(1)



NAME
       cxpm - Check an XPM (X PixMap) file - XPM 1, 2, or 3.

SYNOPSIS
       cxpm [filename]

DESCRIPTION
       The  cxpm  program  can be used to check the format of any
       XPM (version 1, 2, or 3) file. On error, unlike sxpm, cxpm
       prints  out  an  error message indicating where the parser
       choked. This should help finding out what's wrong with  an
       XPM  file  but do not expect too much from it though. This
       is not even close from being some kind of lint program for
       XPM. First, it stops at the first error it encounters - so
       several fix and retry cycles may be necessary to get  your
       file  to parse successfully. Second, cxpm only cares about
       the format. If, for instance, your pixmap  uses  too  many
       colors  for your system you still may experience difficul-
       ties displaying it. Be warned.

       When no filename is given cxpm  reads  from  the  standard
       input.
