1. INTRODUCTION
---------------
CHILS is a program of the Chiaro suite. It produces a quick listing
of information about image files of many formats. Since it is not
specific to any one format, it has been given the CHI- prefix instead of
a particular format prefix. It automatically recognizes a variety of
image formats. The information printed includes file name, file format,
file size, and some details of image size, colors, etc., depending on
what information the format contains and how accessible it is.
The Chiaro suite is also available for UNIX systems.
1.1 Quick Reference
-------------------
This is a quick summary of the usage and options of CHILS. Invoking
CHILS with the option "-?" will produce a similar summary. Complete
explanations may be found in section 2.
