RLEADDCOM(1)           DragonFly General Commands Manual          RLEADDCOM(1)

NAME
       rleaddcom - add picture comments to an RLE file.

SYNOPSIS
       rleaddcom [ -d ] [ -i ] [ -o outfile ] infile comments

DESCRIPTION
       The rleaddcom program will add one or more comments to an RLE(5) file.
       If infile is "-", it will read from the standard input.  The modified
       RLE(5) file is written to the standard output if the -o outfile option
       is not given.  All remaining arguments on the command line are taken as
       comments.  Comments are nominally of the form name=value or name.  Any
       comment already in the file with the same name will be replaced.

OPTIONS
       -d     Will cause matching comments to be deleted, no comments will be
              added in this case.

       -i     "In place."  The input file will be rewritten with the added
              comments.  This argument requires write permission to the
              directory containing infile, but does not require write
              permission for infile.  Of the special file name cases described
              in urt(1), only compressed files may be updated in place.  (It
              doesn't make sense to update the output of a pipe "in place",
              does it?)

              If -o outfile is specified together with -i, then outfile will
              not be modified until rleaddcom has finished (this is similar to
              the way that into(1) works).
