<p> GraphicsMagick's <strong>gm</strong> provides a suite of utilities for
creating, comparing, converting, editing, and displaying images. All
of the utilities are provided as sub-commands of a single <strong>gm</strong>
executable:
<p>
<a href="animate.html"><strong>animate</strong></a>
displays an animation (e.g. a GIF file) on any workstation display
running an <em>X</em> server.
<p>
<a href="batch.html"><strong>batch</strong></a>
executes an arbitary number of the utility commands
(e.g. <strong>convert</strong>) in the form of a simple linear batch script in
order to improve execution efficiency, and/or to allow use as a
subordinate co-process under the control of an arbitrary script or
program.
<p>
<a href="benchmark.html"><strong>benchmark</strong></a>
executes one of the other utility commands (e.g. <strong>convert</strong>) for a
specified number of iterations, or execution time, and reports
execution time and other profiling information such as CPU
utilization. <strong>Benchmark</strong> provides various operating modes
including executing the command with a varying number of threads, and
alternate reporting formats such as comma-separated value (CSV).
<p>
<a href="compare.html"><strong>compare</strong></a>
compares two images and reports difference statistics according to
specified metrics and/or outputs an image with a visual representation
of the differences. It may also be used to test if images are similar
within a particular range and specified metric, returning a truth
value to the executing environment.
<p>
<a href="composite.html"><strong>composite</strong></a>
composites images (blends or merges images together) to create new images.
<p>
<a href="conjure.html"><strong>conjure</strong></a>
interprets and executes scripts in
the Magick Scripting Language (MSL).
<p>
<a href="convert.html"><strong>convert</strong></a>
converts an input file using one image format to an output file with
the same or differing image format while applying an arbitrary number
of image transformations.
<p>
<a href="display.html"><strong>display</strong></a>
is a machine architecture independent image processing and display
facility. It can display an image on any workstation display running
an <em>X</em> server.
<p>
<a href="identify.html"><strong>identify</strong></a>
describes the format and characteristics of one or more image
files. It will also report if an image is incomplete or corrupt.
<p>
<a href="import.html"><strong>import</strong></a>
reads an image from any visible window on an <em>X</em> server and
outputs it as an image file. You can capture a single window, the
entire screen, or any rectangular portion of the screen.
<p>
<a href="mogrify.html"><strong>mogrify</strong></a>
transforms an image or a sequence of images. These transforms include
<strong>image scaling</strong>, <strong>image rotation</strong>, <strong>color reduction</strong>,
and others. The transmogrified image <strong>overwrites</strong> the original
image.
<p>
<a href="montage.html"><strong>montage</strong></a>
creates a composite by combining several separate images. The images
are tiled on the composite image with the name of the image optionally
appearing just below the individual tile.
<p>
<a href="time.html"><strong>time</strong></a>
executes a subcommand and reports the user, system, and total
execution time consumed.
<p>
<a href="version.html"><strong>version</strong></a>
reports the GraphicsMagick release version, maximum sample-depth,
copyright notice, supported features, and the options used while
building the software.
<p>
The <strong>GraphicsMagick</strong> utilities recognize the following image formats:

<em>Support for some of these formats require additional programs or libraries.
See <a href="README.html">README</a>
in the source package for where to find optional additional software</em>.
<p>
Note, a format delineated with <tt>+</tt> means that if more than one
image is specified, frames are combined into a single multi-image
file. Use <strong>+adjoin</strong> if you want a single image produced for each
frame.
<p>
Your installation might not support all of the formats in the list.
To get an accurate listing of the formats supported by your particular
configuration, run <tt>"gm convert -list format"</tt>.
<p>
Raw images are expected to have one byte per pixel unless <strong>gm</strong> is
compiled in 16-bit quantum mode or in 32-bit quantum mode. Here, the
raw data is expected to be stored two or four bytes per pixel,
respectively, in most-significant-byte-first order. For example, you
can tell if <strong>gm</strong> was compiled in 16-bit mode by typing "gm
version" without any options, and looking for "Q:16" in the first line
of output.

<p>
By default, the image format is determined by its magic number, i.e., the
first few bytes of the file. To specify
a particular image format, precede the filename with an image format name
and a colon (<em>i.e.</em><strong>ps:image</strong>) or specify the image type as the
filename suffix (<em>i.e.</em><strong>image.ps</strong>).
The magic number takes precedence over the filename suffix
and the prefix takes precedence over the magic number and the suffix
in input files.
When a file is read, its magic number is stored in the "image->magick"
string.
In output files, the prefix takes precedence over the filename suffix,
and the filename suffix takes precedence over the
"image->magick" string.
<br> <br>
<p>To read the "built-in" formats (GRANITE, H, LOGO,
NETSCAPE, PLASMA, and ROSE) use a prefix (including the colon) without a
filename or suffix. To read the XC format, follow the colon with a color
specification. To read the CAPTION format, follow the colon with a text
string or with a filename prefixed with the at symbol (<strong>@</strong>).
<br> <br>
<p>
When you specify <strong>X</strong> as your image type, the filename has special
meaning. It specifies an X window by <strong>id, name</strong>, or
<strong>root</strong>. If
no filename is specified, the window is selected by clicking the mouse
in the desired window.
<p>
Specify <em>input_file</em> as <strong>-</strong> for standard input,
<em>output_file</em> as <strong>-</strong> for standard output.
If <em>input_file</em> has the extension <strong>.Z</strong> or <strong>.gz</strong>, the
file is uncompressed with <strong>uncompress</strong> or <strong>gunzip</strong>
respectively.
If <em>output_file</em> has the extension <strong>.Z</strong> or <strong>.gz</strong>,
the file is compressed using with <em>compress</em> or <em>gzip</em> respectively.
<p>
Use an optional index enclosed in brackets after an input file name to
specify a desired subimage of a multi-resolution image format like
Photo CD (e.g. <tt>"img0001.pcd[4]"</tt>) or a range for MPEG images
(e.g. <tt>"video.mpg[50-75]"</tt>). A subimage specification can be
disjoint (e.g. <tt>"image.tiff[2,7,4]"</tt>). For raw images, specify
a subimage with a geometry (e.g. <tt>-size 640x512</tt>
<tt>"image.rgb[320x256+50+50]"</tt>). Surround the image name with
quotation marks to prevent your shell from interpreting the square
brackets. <p>Single images are written with the filename you
specify. However, multi-part images (e.g., a multi-page PostScript
document with <strong>+adjoin</strong> specified) may be written with the scene
number included as part of the filename. In order to include the scene
number in the filename, it is necessary to include a printf-style
<tt>%d</tt> format specification in the file name and use the +adjoin
option. For example,
<pre>
image%02d.miff
</pre>
<p>
writes files <em>image00.miff, image01.miff,</em> etc. Only a single
specification is allowed within an output filename. If more than one
specification is present, it will be ignored. It is best to embed the
scene number in the base part of the file name, not in the extension,
because the extension will not be a recognizeable image type.
<p>
When running a commandline utility, you can
prepend an at sign <tt>@</tt> to a filename to read a list of image
filenames from that file. This is convenient in the event you have too
many image filenames to fit on the command line.

Options are processed in command line order. Any option you specify on
the command line remains in effect for the set of images that follows,
until the set is terminated by the appearance of any option or <strong>-noop</strong>.
Some options only affect the decoding of images and others only the encoding.
The latter can appear after the final group of input images.

This is a combined list of the command-line options used by the

The description of composition uses abstract terminology in order to
allow the the description to be more clear, while avoiding constant
values which are specific to a particular build configuration. Each image
pixel is represented by red, green, and blue levels (which are equal for
a gray pixel). MaxRGB is the maximum integral value which may be stored
in the red, green, or blue channels of the image. Each image pixel may
also optionally (if the image matte channel is enabled) have an
associated level of opacity (ranging from opaque to transparent), which
may be used to determine the influence of the pixel color when
compositing the pixel with another image pixel. If the image matte
channel is disabled, then all pixels in the image are treated as opaque.
The color of an <em>opaque</em> pixel is fully visible while the color of a
<em>transparent</em> pixel color is entirely absent (pixel color is ignored).</font></td></tr></table>
<table width="90%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="8"> <tr><td width="6%"><br></td><td><font size="-1">
By definition, raster images have a rectangular shape. All image rows are
of equal length, and all image columns have the same number of rows. By
treating the opacity channel as a visual "mask" the rectangular image may
be given a "shape" by treating the opacity channel as a cookie-cutter for
the image. Pixels within the shape are opaque, while pixels outside the
shape are transparent. Pixels on the boundary of the shape may be between
opaque and transparent in order to provide antialiasing (visually smooth
edges). The description of the composition operators use this concept of
image "shape" in order to make the description of the operators easier to
understand. While it is convenient to describe the operators in terms of
"shapes" they are by no means limited to mask-style operations since they
are based on continuous floating-point mathematics rather than simple
boolean operations.</font></td></tr></table>

<dl>
<dt>cineon:colorspace={rgb|cineonlog}</dt>
<dd>Use the cineon:colorspace option when reading a Cineon file to
specify the colorspace the Cineon file uses. This overrides the colorspace
type implied by the DPX header (if any).
</dd>
<dt>dpx:bits-per-sample=<value></dt>
<dd>If the dpx:bits-per-sample key is defined, GraphicsMagick will write
DPX images with the specified bits per sample, overriding any existing
depth value. If this option is not specified, then the value is based on
the existing image depth value from the original image file. The DPX
standard supports bits per sample values of 1, 8, 10, 12, and 16. Many
DPX readers demand a sample size of 10 bits with type A padding (see
below).
</dd>
<dt>dpx:colorspace={rgb|cineonlog}</dt>
<dd>Use the dpx:colorspace option when reading a DPX file to
specify the colorspace the DPX file uses. This overrides the colorspace
type implied by the DPX header (if any).
</dd>
<dt>dpx:packing-method={packed|a|b|lsbpad|msbpad}</dt>
<dd>DPX samples are output within 32-bit words. They may be tightly
packed end-to-end within the words ("packed"), padded with null bits to
the right of the sample ("a" or "lsbpad), or padded with null bits to the
left of the sample ("b" or "msbpad"). This option only has an effect for
sample sizes of 10 or 12 bits. If samples are not packed, the DPX
standard recommends type A padding. Many DPX readers demand a sample size
of 10 bits with type A padding.
</dd>
<dt>dpx:pixel-endian={lsb|msb}</dt>
<dd>Allows the user to specify the endian order of the pixels when
reading or writing the DPX files. Sometimes this is useful if the file is
(or must be) written incorrectly so that the file header and the pixels
use different endianness.
</dd>
<dt>dpx:swap-samples={true|false}</dt>
<dd>GraphicsMagick strives to adhere to the DPX standard but certain
aspects of the standard can be quite confusing. As a result, some 10-bit
DPX files have Red and Blue interchanged, or Cb and Cr interchanged due
to an different interpretation of the standard, or getting the wires
crossed. The swap-samples option may be supplied when reading or writing
in order to read or write using the necessary sample order.
</dd>
<dt>jp2:rate=<value></dt>
<dd>Specify the compression factor to use while writing JPEG-2000
files. The compression factor is the reciprocal of the compression
ratio. The valid range is 0.0 to 1.0, with 1.0 indicating lossless
compression. If defined, this value overrides the -quality
setting. The default quality setting of 75 results in a rate value of
0.06641.
</dd>
<dt>jpeg:block-smoothing={true|false}</dt>
<dd>Enables or disables block smoothing when reading a JPEG file
(default enabled).
</dd>
<dt>jpeg:dct-method=<value></dt>
<dd>Selects the IJG JPEG library DCT implementation to use. The
encoding implementations vary in speed and encoding error. The
available choices for <strong>value</strong> are <strong>islow</strong>, <strong>ifast</strong>,
<strong>float</strong>, <strong>default</strong> and <strong>fastest</strong>. Note that
<strong>fastest</strong> might not necessarily be fastest on your CPU, depending
on the choices made when the JPEG library was built and how your CPU
behaves.
</dd>
<dt>jpeg:fancy-upsampling={true|false}</dt>
<dd>Enables or disables fancy upsampling when reading a JPEG file
(default enabled).
</dd>
<dt>jpeg:optimize-coding={true|false}</dt>
<dd>
Selects if huffman encoding should be used. Huffman encoding is enabled
by default, but may be disabled for very large images since it encoding
requires that the entire image be buffered in memory. Huffman encoding
produces smaller JPEG files at the expense of added compression time and
memory consumption.
</dd>
<dt>jpeg:preserve-settings</dt>
<dd>If the jpeg:preserve-settings flag is defined, the JPEG encoder will
use the same "quality" and "sampling-factor" settings that were found
in the input file, if the input was in JPEG format. These settings are
also preserved if the input is a JPEG file and the output is a JNG
file. If the colorspace of the output file differs from that of the
input file, the quality setting is preserved but the sampling-factors
are not.
</dd>
<dt>pcl:fit-to-page</dt>
<dd>If the pcl:fit-to-page flag is defined, then the printer is
requested to scale the image to fit the page size (width and/or
height).</dd>
<dt>mng:maximum-loops=<value></dt>
<dd>mng:maximum-loops specifies the maximum number of loops allowed to
be specified by a MNG LOOP chunk. Without an imposed limit, a MNG file
could request up to 2147483647 loops, which could run for a very long
time. The current default limit is 512 loops.
</dd>
<dt>pdf:use-cropbox={true|false}</dt>
<dd>If the pdf:use-cropbox flag is set to <strong>true</strong>, then
Ghostscript is requested to apply the PDF crop box.
</dd>
<dt>pdf:stop-on-error={true|false}</dt>
<dd>If the pdf:stop-on-error flag is set to <strong>true</strong>, then
Ghostscript is requested to stop processing the PDF when the first
error is encountered. Otherwise it will attempt to process all
requested pages.
</dd>
<dt>ps:imagemask</dt>
<dd>If the ps:imagemask flag is defined, the PS3 and EPS3 coders will
create Postscript files that render bilevel images with the Postscript
imagemask operator instead of the image operator.
</dd>
<dt>tiff:alpha={unspecified|associated|unassociated}</dt>
<dd>Specify the TIFF alpha channel type when reading or writing TIFF files,
overriding the normal value. The default alpha channel type for new files
is unspecified alpha. Existing alpha settings are preserved when
converting from one TIFF file to another. When a TIFF file uses
associated alpha, the image pixels are pre-multiplied (i.e. altered) with
the alpha channel. Files with "associated" alpha appear as if they were
alpha composited on a black background when the matte channel is
disabled. If the unassociated alpha type is selected, then the alpha
channel is saved without altering the pixels. Photoshop recognizes
associated alpha as transparency information, if the file is saved with
unassociated alpha, the alpha information is loaded as an independent
channel. Note that for many years, ImageMagick and GraphicsMagick marked
TIFF files as using associated alpha, without properly pre-multiplying
the pixels.
</dd>
<dt>tiff:fill-order={msb2lsb|lsb2msb}</dt>
<dd>If the tiff:fill-order key is defined, GraphicsMagick will use it to
determine the bit fill order used while writing TIFF files. The normal default
is "msb2lsb", which matches the native bit order of all modern CPUs. The
only exception to this is when Group3 or Group4 FAX compression is
requested since FAX machines send data in bit-reversed order and
therefore RFC 2301 recommends using reverse order.
</dd>
<dt>tiff:group-three-options=<value></dt>
<dd>If the tiff:group-three-options key is defined, GraphicsMagick
will use it to set the group3 options tag when writing
group3-compressed TIFF. Please see the TIFF specification for the
usage of this tag. The default value is 4.
</dd>
<dt>tiff:ignore-tags=<tags></dt>
<dd>If the tiff:ignore-tags key is defined, then it is used as a list
of comma-delimited integer TIFF tag values to ignore while reading the
TIFF file. This is useful in order to be able to read files which
which otherwise fail to read due to problems with TIFF tags. Note
that some TIFF tags are required in order to be able to read the image
data at all.
</dd>
<dt>tiff:report-warnings={false|true}</dt>
<dd>If the tiff:report-warnings key is defined and set to <strong>true</strong>,
then TIFF warnings are reported as a warning exception rather than as
a coder log message. Such warnings are reported after the image has
been read or written. Most TIFF warnings are benign but sometimes
they may help deduce problems with the TIFF file, or help detect that
the TIFF file requires a special application to read successfully due
to the use of proprietary or specialized extensions.
</dd>
<dt>tiff:sample-format={unsigned|ieeefp}</dt>
<dd>If the tiff:sample-format key is defined, GraphicsMagick will use it to
determine the sample format used while writing TIFF files. The default is
"unsigned". Specify "ieeefp" in order to write floating-point TIFF
files with float (32-bit) or double (64-bit) values. Use the
tiff:bits-per-sample define to determine the type of floating-point value
to use.
</dd>
<dt>tiff:max-sample-value=<value></dt>
<dd>If the tiff:max-sample-value key is defined, GraphicsMagick will use the
assigned value as the maximum floating point value while reading or
writing IEEE floating point TIFFs. Otherwise the maximum value is 1.0 or
the value obtained from the file's SMaxSampleValue tag (if present). The
floating point data is currently not scanned in advance to determine a
best maximum sample value so if the range is not 1.0, or the
SMaxSampleValue tag is not present, it may be necessary to
(intelligently) use this parameter to properly read a file.
</dd>
<dt>tiff:min-sample-value=<value></dt>
<dd>If the tiff:min-sample-value key is defined, GraphicsMagick will use
the assigned value as the minimum floating point value while reading or
writing IEEE floating point TIFFs. Otherwise the minimum value is 0.0 or
the value obtained from the file's SMinSampleValue tag (if present).
</dd>
<dt>tiff:bits-per-sample=<value></dt>
<dd>If the tiff:bits-per-sample key is defined, GraphicsMagick will write
images with the specified bits per sample, overriding any existing depth
value. Value may be any in the range of 1 to 32, or 64 when the default
'unsigned' format is written, or 16/32/24/64 if IEEEFP format is written.
Please note that the baseline TIFF 6.0 specification only requires
readers to handle certain powers of two, and the values to be handled
depend on the nature of the image (e.g. colormapped, grayscale, RGB, CMYK).
</dd>
<dt>tiff:samples-per-pixel=<value></dt>
<dd>If the tiff:samples-per-pixel key is defined to a value, the TIFF coder
will write TIFF images with the defined samples per pixel, overriding any
value stored in the image. This option should not normally be used.
</dd>
<dt>tiff:rows-per-strip=<value></dt>
<dd>Allows the user to specify the number of rows per TIFF strip.
Rounded up to a multiple of 16 when using JPEG compression. Ignored when
using tiles.
</dd>
<dt>tiff:strip-per-page=true</dt>
<dd>Requests that the image is written in a single TIFF strip. This is
normally the default when group3 or group4 compression is requested
within reasonable limits. Requesting a single strip for large images may
result in failure due to resource consumption in the writer or reader.
</dd>
<dt>tiff:tile</dt>
<dd>Enable writing tiled TIFF (rather than stripped) using the default tile
size. Tiled TIFF organizes the image as an array of smaller images
(tiles) in order to enable random access.
</dd>
<dt>tiff:tile-geometry=<width>x<height></dt>
<dd>Specify the tile size to use while writing tiled TIFF. Width and
height should be a multiple of 16. If the value is not a multiple of 16,
then it will be rounded down. Enables tiled TIFF if it has not already
been enabled. GraphicsMagick does not use tiled storage internally so
tiles need to be converted back and forth from the internal
scanline-oriented storage to tile-oriented storage. Testing with typical
RGB images shows that useful square tile size values range from 128x128
to 1024x1024. Large images which require using a disk-based pixel cache
benefit from large tile sizes while images which fit in memory work well
with smaller tile sizes.
</dd>
<dt>tiff:tile-width=<width></dt>
<dd>Specify the tile width to use while writing tiled TIFF. The tile height
is then defaulted to an appropriate size. Width should be a multiple of
16. If the value is not a multiple of 16, then it will be rounded down.
Enables tiled TIFF if it has not already been enabled.
</dd>
<dt>tiff:tile-height=<height></dt>
<dd>Specify the tile height to use while writing tiled TIFF. The tile width
is then defaulted to an appropriate size. Height should be a multiple of
16. If the value is not a multiple of 16, then it will be rounded down.
Enables tiled TIFF if it has not already been enabled.

A Hald CLUT ("Color Look-Up Table") is a special square color image
which contains a look-up table for red, green, and blue. The size of
the Hald CLUT image is determined by its order. The width (and
height) of a Hald CLUT is the cube of the order. For example, a Hald
CLUT of order 8 is 512x512 pixels (262,144 colors) and of order 16 is
4096x4096 (16,777,216 colors). A special CLUT is the identity CLUT
which which causes no change to the input image. In order to use the
Hald CLUT, one takes an identity CLUT and adjusts its colors in some
way. The modified CLUT can then be used to transform any number of
images in an identical way.</font></td></tr></table>
<table width="90%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="8"> <tr><td width="6%"><br></td><td><font size="-1">
GraphicsMagick contains a built-in identity CLUT generator via the
<strong>IDENTITY</strong> coder. For example reading from the file name
</strong>IDENTITY:8</strong> returns an identity CLUT of order 8. Typical Hald
CLUT identity images have an order of between 8 and 16. The default
order for the <strong>IDENTITY</strong> CLUT generator is 8. Interpolation is
used so it is not usually necessary for CLUT images to be very large.
The PNG file format is ideal for storing Hald CLUT images because it
compresses them very well.</font></td></tr></table>

By default, resource limits are estimated based on the available
resources of the system. The resource limits are <strong>Disk</strong>, maximum
total disk space consumed; <strong>File</strong>, maximum number of file
descriptors allowed to be open at once; <strong>Map</strong>, maximum total
number of file bytes which may be memory mapped; <strong>Memory</strong>,
maximum total number of bytes of heap memory used for image storage;
<strong>Pixels</strong>, maximum absolute image size (per image); <strong>Width</strong>,
maximum image pixels width; <strong>Height</strong>, maximum image pixels
height; and <strong>Threads</strong>, the maximum number of worker threads to

These resource limits are used to decide if (for a given image) the
decoded image ("pixel cache") should be stored in heap memory (RAM),
in a memory-mapped disk file, or in a disk file accessed via
read/write I/O. The number of total pixels in one image, and/or the
width/height, may also be limited in order to force the reading, or
creation of images larger than the limit (in pixels) to intentionally
fail. The disk limit establishes an overall limit since using the disk
is the means of last resort. When the disk limit has been reached, no
more images may be read.</font></td></tr></table>

suffix characters applied ('K', 'M', 'G', 'T', 'P', 'E') to apply a

The choices for N are 2 through 7. The image is divided into
NxN pixel tiles. In each tile, some or all pixels are turned to
white depending on their intensity. For each N, (N**2)+1 levels
of gray can be represented. For N == 2, 3, or 4, the pixels
are turned to white in an order that maximizes dispersion (i.e.,
reduces granularity), while
for N == 5, 6, and 7, they are turned to white in an order that
creates a roughly circular black blob in the middle of each tile.
An attractive "half-tone" looking image can be obtained by first
rotating the image 45 degrees, performing a 5x5 ordered-dither
operation, then rotating it back to the original orientation and
cropping to the original image dimensions. If the original image

Segmentation is a very useful fast and and approximate color quantization
algorithm for scanned printed pages or scanned cartoons. It may also be
used as a special effect. Specify <em>cluster threshold</em> as the minimum
percentage of total pixels in a cluster before it is considered valid.
For huge images containing small detail, this may need to be a tiny
fraction of a percent (e.g. 0.015) so that important detail is not lost.
<em>Smoothing threshold</em> eliminates noise in the second derivative of
the histogram. As the value is increased, you can expect a smoother
second derivative. The default is 1.5. Add the <em>-verbose</em> option to
see a dump of cluster statistics given the parameters used. The
statistics may be used as a guide to help fine tune the options.</font></td></tr></table>

substantially improves repeated read performance since the file is
already in memory after the first time it has been read. However,
testing shows that performance may be reduced for files accessed for
the first time since data is accessed via page-faults (upon first
access) and many operating systems fail to do sequential read-ahead of
memory mapped files, and particularly if those files are accessed over
a network. If many large input files are read, then enabling this
option may harm performance by overloading the operating system's VM
system as it then needs to free unmapped pages and map new ones.</td></tr></table>

valid on disk. If image files are referenced from a database, then this
option helps assure that the files referenced by the database are
valid.</td></tr></table>

well for many cases. The best value for a local filesystem is usually the
the native filesystem block size (e.g. 4096, 8192, or even 131,072 for
ZFS) in order to minimize the number of physical disk I/O operations.
I/O performance to files accessed over a network may benefit
significantly by tuning this option. Larger values are not necessarily
better (they may be slower!), and there is rarely any benefit from using
values larger than 32768. Use convert's <strong>-verbose</strong> option in order
to evaluate read and write rates in pixels per second while keeping in
mind that the operating system will try to cache files in RAM.</td></tr></table>
