Flags of this tool

Picdoc has only 1 flag: -C. That flag tells picdoc to skip grey, black and white colors (44,44,44, 200,200,200,0,0,0).

Errors explaination

• I did not find file. Run picdoc with filename. - this error means that file not found. Also that error shows when you ran picdoc without filename.
• I can't recognize file. Is it picture (JPG, JPEG, PNG, ICO)? - probably, you sent non-image file (for example, .js, .txt, .mp4) to picdoc.

Credits

• Thanks very much to developers of library called color-extractor. Picdoc wouldn't exist without it!
• Thanks to developers of great library called gookit/color. Without it my program wouldn't show colors in Windows console.
• Thanks to developers of library called bestico/ico. Thanks to it picdoc can process .ico files!
