+.TH DJPEG 1 "22 August 1997"
+.SH NAME
+djpeg \- decompress a JPEG file to an image file
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.B djpeg
+[
+.I options
+]
+[
+.I filename
+]
+.LP
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.LP
+.B djpeg
+decompresses the named JPEG file, or the standard input if no file is named,
+and produces an image file on the standard output. PBMPLUS (PPM/PGM), BMP,
+GIF, Targa, or RLE (Utah Raster Toolkit) output format can be selected.
+(RLE is supported only if the URT library is available.)
+.SH OPTIONS
+All switch names may be abbreviated; for example,
+.B \-grayscale
+may be written
+.B \-gray
+or
+.BR \-gr .
+Most of the "basic" switches can be abbreviated to as little as one letter.
+Upper and lower case are equivalent (thus
+.B \-BMP
+is the same as
+.BR \-bmp ).
+British spellings are also accepted (e.g.,
+.BR \-greyscale ),
+though for brevity these are not mentioned below.
+.PP
+The basic switches are:
+.TP
+.BI \-colors " N"
+Reduce image to at most N colors. This reduces the number of colors used in
+the output image, so that it can be displayed on a colormapped display or
+stored in a colormapped file format. For example, if you have an 8-bit
+display, you'd need to reduce to 256 or fewer colors.
+.TP
+.BI \-quantize " N"
+Same as
+.BR \-colors .
+.B \-colors
+is the recommended name,
+.B \-quantize
+is provided only for backwards compatibility.
+.TP
+.B \-fast
+Select recommended processing options for fast, low quality output. (The
+default options are chosen for highest quality output.) Currently, this is
+equivalent to \fB\-dct fast \-nosmooth \-onepass \-dither ordered\fR.
+.TP
+.B \-grayscale
+Force gray-scale output even if JPEG file is color. Useful for viewing on
+monochrome displays; also,
+.B djpeg
+runs noticeably faster in this mode.
+.TP
+.BI \-scale " M/N"
+Scale the output image by a factor M/N. Currently the scale factor must be
+1/1, 1/2, 1/4, or 1/8. Scaling is handy if the image is larger than your
+screen; also,
+.B djpeg
+runs much faster when scaling down the output.
+.TP
+.B \-bmp
+Select BMP output format (Windows flavor). 8-bit colormapped format is
+emitted if
+.B \-colors
+or
+.B \-grayscale
+is specified, or if the JPEG file is gray-scale; otherwise, 24-bit full-color
+format is emitted.
+.TP
+.B \-gif
+Select GIF output format. Since GIF does not support more than 256 colors,
+.B \-colors 256
+is assumed (unless you specify a smaller number of colors).
+.TP
+.B \-os2
+Select BMP output format (OS/2 1.x flavor). 8-bit colormapped format is
+emitted if
+.B \-colors
+or
+.B \-grayscale
+is specified, or if the JPEG file is gray-scale; otherwise, 24-bit full-color
+format is emitted.
+.TP
+.B \-pnm
+Select PBMPLUS (PPM/PGM) output format (this is the default format).
+PGM is emitted if the JPEG file is gray-scale or if
+.B \-grayscale
+is specified; otherwise PPM is emitted.
+.TP
+.B \-rle
+Select RLE output format. (Requires URT library.)
+.TP
+.B \-targa
+Select Targa output format. Gray-scale format is emitted if the JPEG file is
+gray-scale or if
+.B \-grayscale
+is specified; otherwise, colormapped format is emitted if
+.B \-colors
+is specified; otherwise, 24-bit full-color format is emitted.
+.PP
+Switches for advanced users:
+.TP
+.B \-dct int
+Use integer DCT method (default).
+.TP
+.B \-dct fast
+Use fast integer DCT (less accurate).
+.TP
+.B \-dct float
+Use floating-point DCT method.
+The float method is very slightly more accurate than the int method, but is
+much slower unless your machine has very fast floating-point hardware. Also
+note that results of the floating-point method may vary slightly across
+machines, while the integer methods should give the same results everywhere.
+The fast integer method is much less accurate than the other two.
+.TP
+.B \-dither fs
+Use Floyd-Steinberg dithering in color quantization.
+.TP
+.B \-dither ordered
+Use ordered dithering in color quantization.
+.TP
+.B \-dither none
+Do not use dithering in color quantization.
+By default, Floyd-Steinberg dithering is applied when quantizing colors; this
+is slow but usually produces the best results. Ordered dither is a compromise
+between speed and quality; no dithering is fast but usually looks awful. Note
+that these switches have no effect unless color quantization is being done.
+Ordered dither is only available in
+.B \-onepass
+mode.
+.TP
+.BI \-map " file"
+Quantize to the colors used in the specified image file. This is useful for
+producing multiple files with identical color maps, or for forcing a
+predefined set of colors to be used. The
+.I file
+must be a GIF or PPM file. This option overrides
+.B \-colors
+and
+.BR \-onepass .
+.TP
+.B \-nosmooth
+Use a faster, lower-quality upsampling routine.
+.TP
+.B \-onepass
+Use one-pass instead of two-pass color quantization. The one-pass method is
+faster and needs less memory, but it produces a lower-quality image.
+.B \-onepass
+is ignored unless you also say
+.B \-colors
+.IR N .
+Also, the one-pass method is always used for gray-scale output (the two-pass
+method is no improvement then).
+.TP
+.BI \-maxmemory " N"
+Set limit for amount of memory to use in processing large images. Value is
+in thousands of bytes, or millions of bytes if "M" is attached to the
+number. For example,
+.B \-max 4m
+selects 4000000 bytes. If more space is needed, temporary files will be used.
+.TP
+.BI \-outfile " name"
+Send output image to the named file, not to standard output.
+.TP
+.B \-verbose
+Enable debug printout. More
+.BR \-v 's
+give more output. Also, version information is printed at startup.
+.TP
+.B \-debug
+Same as
+.BR \-verbose .
+.SH EXAMPLES
+.LP
+This example decompresses the JPEG file foo.jpg, quantizes it to
+256 colors, and saves the output in 8-bit BMP format in foo.bmp:
+.IP
+.B djpeg \-colors 256 \-bmp
+.I foo.jpg
+.B >
+.I foo.bmp
+.SH HINTS
+To get a quick preview of an image, use the
+.B \-grayscale
+and/or
+.B \-scale
+switches.
+.B \-grayscale \-scale 1/8
+is the fastest case.
+.PP
+Several options are available that trade off image quality to gain speed.
+.B \-fast
+turns on the recommended settings.
+.PP
+.B \-dct fast
+and/or
+.B \-nosmooth
+gain speed at a small sacrifice in quality.
+When producing a color-quantized image,
+.B \-onepass \-dither ordered
+is fast but much lower quality than the default behavior.
+.B \-dither none
+may give acceptable results in two-pass mode, but is seldom tolerable in
+one-pass mode.
+.PP
+If you are fortunate enough to have very fast floating point hardware,
+\fB\-dct float\fR may be even faster than \fB\-dct fast\fR. But on most
+machines \fB\-dct float\fR is slower than \fB\-dct int\fR; in this case it is
+not worth using, because its theoretical accuracy advantage is too small to be
+significant in practice.
+.SH ENVIRONMENT
+.TP
+.B JPEGMEM
+If this environment variable is set, its value is the default memory limit.
+The value is specified as described for the
+.B \-maxmemory
+switch.
+.B JPEGMEM
+overrides the default value specified when the program was compiled, and
+itself is overridden by an explicit
+.BR \-maxmemory .

+Arithmetic coding is not supported for legal reasons.
+.PP
+To avoid the Unisys LZW patent,
+.B djpeg
+produces uncompressed GIF files. These are larger than they should be, but
+are readable by standard GIF decoders.
+.PP
+Still not as fast as we'd like.
