DESCRIPTION
The sxpm program can be used to view any XPM (version 1,
2, or 3) file and/or to convert a file from XPM1 or XPM2
to XPM version 3. If sxpm is run with any dummy option
specified, the usage is displayed. If no geometry is spec-
ified, the show window will have the size of the read
pixmap. Pressing the key Q in the window will quit the
program.

input if filename is '-'. If no input is speci-
fied sxpm reads from standard input.

-rgb filename
Search color names in the file filename and write
them out instead of the rgb values.

KNOWN BUGS
Some window managers may not accept a pixmap which is not
a bitmap as icon because this does not respect ICCCM, many
of the well known ones will accept it though.
