 DESCRIPTION
      PNGcheck, version 3.0.3 of 25 April 2021, by Alexander Lehmann,
      Andreas Dilger and Greg Roelofs.

      Test PNG, JNG or MNG image files for corruption, and print size/type
      info.

 OPTIONS
      -7   print contents of tEXt chunks, escape chars >=128 (for 7-bit
           terminals)

      -c   colorize output (for ANSI terminals)

      -p   print contents of PLTE, tRNS, hIST, sPLT and PPLT (can be used
           with -q)

      -q   test quietly (output only errors)

      -s   search for PNGs within another file

      -t   print contents of tEXt chunks (can be used with -q)

      -v   test verbosely (print most chunk data)

      -vv  test very verbosely (decode & print line filters)

      -w   suppress windowBits test (more-stringent compression check)

      -x   search for PNGs within another file and extract them when found

 NOTE
      MNG support is more informational than conformance-oriented.
