5.2.4 X Image Extension Documentation

The X Image Extension (XIE) code provides a powerful mechanism for the transfer and display of virtually any image on X-capable hardware. Documentation for XIE is provided in the /usr/share/doclib/xie directory on an installed Tru64 UNIX system.

Before you can view or print an XIE document, you must uncompress it using the gzip -dcommand. For more information, see the gzip(1) reference page.

The following list describes the XIE documentation. The names of the individual files are listed after the titles.
