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.

the read pixmap. Pressing the key Q in the window will quit the
program.

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.
