NAME
       rleselect - Select images from an RLE file.

SYNOPSIS
       rleselect [ -i infile ] [ -o outfile ] [ -v ] [ image-numbers ...  ]

DESCRIPTION
       This program selects images from an RLE(5) file containing multiple
       concatenated images.  The selected images are specified by number; the
       first image in the file is number 1.  A negative number in the
       image-numbers list means that all images from the previous number in
       the list to the absolute value of this number should be included.  A
       zero in the list is taken as '-infinity', so that all images from the
       previous number to the last image in the file will be included.  To try
       to clarify this, some examples are included below.

OPTIONS
       -i infile
              The input will be read from this file.  If infile is "-" or is
              not specified, the input will be read from the standard input
              stream.

       -o outfile
              If specified, the output will be written to this file.  If
              outfile is "-", or if it is not specified, the output will be
              written to the standard output stream.

       -v     Verbose output.

EXAMPLES
       rleselect 1 4 5
              Selects image 1, 4, and 5.

       rleselect 4 1 5
              Also selects image 1, 4, and 5.

       rleselect 1 -4 5
              Selects images 1 through 4 and 5 (i.e., 1 through 5).

       rleselect 3 0
              Selects images 3 through the last.

       rleselect -4
              Selects images 1 through 4.
