eog [options] [files] — eog

Synopsis

/usr/bin stdin stdout - file -- opt --help --version

The eog (Eye of Gnome) image viewer displays graphics files in a variety of formats. If you invoke it for a single file, it displays the file. Invoked on two or more files:

$ eog file1.jpg file2.gif file3.pbm

it displays each in a separate window.

Most eog options are fairly technical, so we won’t cover them; we mention this so you know eog has options, in case you want to investigate them (eog --help).
