+# fbida
+
+There a bunch of tools in this repository, bundled togethere here
+because they share code.  Two of them ("fbi" and "ida") form the repo
+name.
+
+## ida
+
+Motif image viewer, see [README.ida]
+
+## fbi
+
+Linux console image viewer.  Runs on linux framebuffer devices (thus
+the name "fbi").  Can also use drm devices.
+
+## fbpdf
+
+Linux console pdf viewer.  These days it is a standalone app using the
+the poppler library for pdf rendering.
+
+Originally it started as shell script which ran pdf/ps files through
+ghostscript to render the pdf into a stack of image files for fbi.
+
+## exiftran
+
+Transform jpeg images, like jpegtran, but unlike jpegtran it also
+transforms the exif thumbnail images.
