pcd[svga]view - a console Photo CD (*.pcd) viewer

pcd[svga]view [OPTIONS] <file0> <file1> ...

This manual page describes pcd[svga]view from xpcd-2.08, a PhotoCD images viewer for consoles, using svgalib for displaying the images.

Large images can be scrolled using the cursor keys. Use ESC or 'q' to quit. Space and PgDn show the next, PgUp shows the previous image. Jumping to a image works with <number>g.

This program tries to find the best graphics mode for displaying the image, depending on its size. All graphic modes are likely to be switched on. SO BE SURE YOUR MONITOR CAN DISPLAY ALL MODES YOU HAVE IN YOUR SVGALIB CONFIG FILE, YOUR MONITOR OTHERWISE MAY GET DAMAGED.
