cristy3ed852e2009-09-05 21:47:34 +0000183<div class="doc-section">
184
185<p>ImageMagick uses an ASCII string known as <em>magick</em> (e.g. <kbd>GIF</kbd>) to identify file formats, algorithms acting as formats, built-in patterns, and embedded profile types.</p>
186
187<p>Support for some of the formats are delegated to libraries or external programs. The Installation Guide describes where to find these distributions and any special configuration options required.</p>
188

190
191<p class='crt'><span class="crtprompt"> $magick&gt; </span><span class='crtin'>identify -list format</span></p>
192<p>On some platforms, ImageMagick automagically processes these extensions: .gz for Zip compression, .Z for Unix compression, .bz2 for block compression, and .pgp for PGP encryption. For example, a PNM image called image.pnm.gz is automagically uncompressed.</p>
