'Gifdiff' compares two GIF files (either images or animations) for identical
visual appearance. An animation and an optimized version of the same animation
should compare as the same. Gifdiff exits with status 0 if the images are
the same, 1 if they're different, and 2 if there was some error.
Usage: gifdiff [OPTION]... FILE1 FILE2
