OVERVIEW
       The identify program is a  member  of  the  ImageMagick(1)
       suite  of tools.  It describes the format and characteris-
       tics of one or more image files. It  also  reports  if  an
       image  is  incomplete or corrupt. The information returned
       includes the image number, the file name,  the  width  and
       height  of  the image, whether the image is colormapped or
       not, the number of colors in  the  image,  the  number  of
       bytes  in  the  image, the format of the image (JPEG, PNM,
       etc.), and finally the number of seconds it took  to  read
       and  process the image. Many more attributes are available
       with the verbose option.
