       -shared-memory, or -title.

       By  default, the image format of `file' is determined by its magic num-
       ber.  To specify a particular image format, precede the  filename  with
       an  image  format name and a colon (i.e. ps:image) or specify the image
       type as the filename suffix (i.e. image.ps).  Specify 'file' as '-' for
       standard input or output.
