Example
Code: Select all
convert -verbose null: -compress none ppm: >stdout 2>stderr
the file stdout containsnull:=> NULL 1x1 1x1+0+0 16-bit DirectClass 0.000u 0:00.000
That last line is NOT part of the image and should have been in the stderr file not the stdout.P6

null:=> NULL 1x1 1x1+0+0 16-bit DirectClass 0.000u 0:00.000
Other tests (adjusting the verbose setting range) shows that it is the final write that does it wrong.
It causes problems in debugging convert commands in data pipelines.
