tgainfo - display information about a Targa image

## SYNOPSIS

**tgainfo** \[*options*\] \[--\] \[*tgafile*\]

## DESCRIPTION

**tgainfo** is a simple program which will display information from the TGA header. This information may be useful for determining if a file is in the correct format for [**bnibuild**(1)](/bnibuild/1.md) or other programs.

If *tgafile* is not specified or is specified as "-", the standard input will be used.

## OPTIONS

- **-h --help --usage**

  Print usage information and exit.

- **-v --version**

  Print its version number and exit.

- **--**

  Signal end of options.  Any further arguments will be treated as filenames even if they begin with a "-".

## NOTES

The current version is available with the bnetd distribution at:

*http://www.bnetd.org/*

## BUGS

Only a subset of all the possible Targa formats are recognized properly.
