pngcheck: Search for PNGs within another file and e[x]tract them.
$ pngcheck -x ${image-png}
try on your machine

The command "pngcheck -x ${image-png}" is used to check the validity and integrity of a PNG image file.

Here's a breakdown of the command and its components:

  • "pngcheck": It is the name of the command-line tool used to analyze and verify PNG image files.
  • "-x": It is a flag/option used with the "pngcheck" tool to request extended information about the PNG image file.
  • "${image-png}": This is a placeholder or variable that should be replaced with the actual path or name of the PNG image file you want to check. The syntax suggests that the variable is named "image-png".

Once you replace "${image-png}" with the specific file path or name, the command will be executed, and it will provide you with detailed information about the PNG image file, including its validity, potential errors, and metadata.
