fbv

A framebuffer image viewer.

Fork from http://s-tech.elsat.net.pl/fbv/

GIF support through libungif has been removed as that library is obsolete.

OVERVIEW

fbv (FrameBuffer Viewer) is a simple program to view pictures on a linux framebuffer device. In 2000, when fbv was created, there were no other situable programs performing the same task, so the authors decided to follow the rule: If you need a tool - write it yourself! :-)

REQUIREMENTS

• Linux, configured to provide the framebuffer device interface
• libjpeg for JPEG support
• libpng for PNG support
• built-in BMP support

INSTALLATION

./configure
make
make install

USAGE

Just run ./fbv without any arguments, and a short help message will appear.
