NAME
       sixel - SIXEL format

DESCRIPTION
       SIXEL is a bitmap graphics format for terminals and printers introduced
       by Digital Equipment Corp. (DEC).  Its data scheme is represented as a
       terminal-friendly escape sequence.  So if you want to show a SIXEL
       image file, all you have to do is "cat" it to your terminal.

            option)
