# img-cat
Displays images in your terminal using 256-color mode. Can display PNG, GIF,
and JPEG images. Requires a 256-color terminal. GNU Screen does not support
256-color mode out of the box, so search for how to enable that if you're
having issues.
## Installation
npm install -g img-cat
## Usage
usage: img-cat [options] [--] [images]
-h, --help, -? display this help text
-v, --version display version string
--copyright display copyright information
## Tips
You can store the output of `img-cat` to a file and then simply `cat` it later
to view it.
_Example:_
img-cat cool.png > cool.ansi
cat cool.ansi
And then you can add `cat cool.ansi` to your `~/.bashrc` or `~/.zshrc` to have
it print out when you open a terminal.
