.SH DESCRIPTION
.PP
The \fIsxpm\fP 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 \fIsxpm\fP 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. Pressing the
key Q in the window will quit the program.

.SH 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.
