.Sh DESCRIPTION
.Nm
takes a Blinkenlights movie (in BML, BLM or GIF format) and creates a
MNG (Multiple-image Network Graphics) animation from it. By default
the generated animation is a simple grayscale movie where a pixel
represents a window. But
.Nm
can also use blinkenthemes and create
the same output that blinkensim diplays.
.Nm
automatically detects the file type by looking at the incoming data.
