28.SH NAME
29cxpm \- Check an XPM (X PixMap) file - XPM 1, 2, or 3.
30.SH SYNOPSIS
31\fBcxpm\fR
32[\|\fIfilename\fP\|]
33.SH DESCRIPTION
34.PP
35The \fBcxpm\fP program can be used to check the format of any XPM (version 1, 2,
36or 3) file. On error, unlike \fBsxpm\fR, \fBcxpm\fR prints out an error message
37indicating where the parser choked. This should help finding out what's wrong
38with an XPM file but do not expect too much from it though. This is not even
39close from being some kind of lint program for XPM. First, it stops at the
40first error it encounters - so several fix and retry cycles may be necessary to
41get your file to parse successfully. Second, \fBcxpm\fP only cares about
42the format. If, for instance, your pixmap uses too many colors for your system
43you still may experience difficulties displaying it. Be warned.
44.PP
45When no \fIfilename\fP is given \fBcxpm\fR reads from the standard input.
