Display internal structure of DjVu files.

## NAME

djvudump - Display internal structure of DjVu files.

## SYNOPSIS

**djvudump \[-o** *outputfile***\]** *djvufiles***...**

## DESCRIPTION

Program  **djvudump** prints an indented representation of the chunk structure of any DjVu files. Each line represent contains a chunk ID followed by the chunk size.  Lines are indented in order to reflect the hierarchical structure of the IFF files.  The page identifier is printed between curly braces when a bundled multi-page DjVu document is recognized.  Additional information about each chunk is provided when **djvudump** recognizes the chunk name and knows how to summarize the  chunk data.

## REMARKS

This program is in fact able to describe any file complying with the Electronic Arts IFF 85 specification.  This includes a number of graphical and sound file formats.

## CREDITS

This program was written by Léon Bottou \<leonb@users.sourceforge.net\> and was then improved by Andrei Erofeev \<andrew\_erofeev@yahoo.com\>, Bill Riemers \<docbill@sourceforge.net\> and many others.
