gif-test

README

This is a small program that partially implements a GIF decoder. I wrote it to help me debug GIF files that other decoders had problems with.

It is mainly useful for seeing the blocks and their sizes.

It does not fully implement the GIF89a specification, and for the most part does not parse out all of the blocks it does recognize. It also does not have any LZW decompression capability.

Note: If you are working on the standard library image/gif package then you probably want to build this with go build -a.
