# gifspnge(1)

This is an expensive way to copy a GIF. The source is included as a skeleton for more sophisticated filters using DGifSlurp() and EGifSpew(). See the source in the util directory for details. I suppose this does have some utility as a test of DGifSlurp() and EGifSpew(). The output should be bytewise identical to the input.
