     Miscellaneous Options:
       -debug events        display copious debugging information
       -help                print program options
       -log format          format of debugging information

     arguments
       -version             print version information

     By default, the image format of `file' is determined by  its
     magic number.  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.
