# DESCRIPTION

The sxpm program can be used to view any XPM (version 1, 2, or 3) file and/or to convert a file from XPM1 or XPM2 to XPM version 3. If sxpm is run with any dummy option specified, the usage is displayed. If no geometry is specified, the show window will have the size of the read pixmap.

# KNOWN BUGS

Some window managers may not accept a pixmap which is not a bitmap as icon because this does not respect ICCCM, many of the well known ones will accept it though.
