| x | jpg -9 | http://man.9front.org/1/jpg |
| | -9 Like -c, but produce an uncompressed image. This saves processing time, particularly when the output is being piped to another program such as page(1), since it avoids compression and decompression. | “ |
| x | jpg -t | http://man.9front.org/1/jpg |
| | -t Convert the image, if it is in color, to a true color RGB image. | “ |
| | Note: -c Convert the image to a Plan 9 representation, as defined by image(6), and write it to standard output. | “ |
| Example: |
jpg -9t <coolwallpaper1920x1080.jpg >/usr/$user/lib/1920×1080.img |
cpu% jpg -9t <coolwallpaper1920x1080.jpg >/usr/$user/lib/1920x1080.img
