    HEX          '0x00' - '0xff'       - 8 bit hexadecimal value w/ 0x prefix.
  commands:
    append       Encodes and appends the specified input files to the specified

    exppal       Exports the palette of the STI container as Adobe(tm) palette.
    extract      Extracts the specified frames either decoded or raw. You can s
                 pecify the colors used for background and shadow by the option
                 s -c and -S respectively.

    imppal       Applies the specified Adobe(tm) palette file to the STI contai
                 ner, but does not re-encode the images. Indexes are preserved.

    render       Renders the specified range of frames to the console.
    setcolor     Changes the specified color of the palette.
    setkeydata   Sets the key frame data for the animation.
    stats        Outputs stats like extents + pivot point about the animation.
  options:
    -0 --idx0    Use color of the console palette with index 0 for transparent
                  pixels when rendering to console.
    -a --ascii   If set, use only ascii characters for rendering on console.
    -A --alpha   Turn on alpha mode for the 'new' command. Expects two sets of
                  images, 2 palettes and 2 sti file names.
    -b --bpp     Use the specified value as bit depth for exported bitmaps.
    -B --bgpal   Use the transparent color of the palette for rendering to cons
                 ole.
    -c --color   Specifies a COLOR value for use with certain commands.
    -f --fps     Use the specified value as frames per second for rendering to
                 console.
    -e --empty   Write sti files, even if the stored size is 0.
    -F --fill    Repeat the provided keyframe data sequence to automatically cr
                 eate key frame data for the specified range.
    -i --input   Specifies input data - usually a file name or a format string
                 for formatting file names.
    -I --pixinc  Specifies how many lines/rows are skipped if rendering to cons
                 ole.
    -j --input2  Specifies input data - usually a file name or a format string
                 for formatting file names - for the 2nd set of images (for alp
                 ha channel sti files).
    -k --keydata Expects a list of HEX values that will be interpreted as keyfr
                 ame data. Values > zero signify for how many frames the keyfra
                 me spans.
    -m --mono    Don't use colors when rendering to console.
    -M --mode    Specified what encloding/decoding mode to use for exporting/im
                 porting frames. If no mode is specified, the images are import
                 ed/exported as-is. The following modes are supported:
                 Exporting:
                   PAD    - Pad all frames to the minimum common extents over a
                            ll frames. The offsets of all frames is presrved. Y
                            ou will need the pivot point coordinates to restore
                             the original positioning.
                   CENTER - Pad all frames so that the pivot point for the anim
                            ation is at the center of every image.
                 Importing:
                   TRIM   - Trim images prior to encoding. You usually would pr
                            ovide a common pivot point for all imported frames.
                   CENTER - Trim images prior to encoding. Use center of image
                             as pivot point.
    -n --index   Specified an index value. Used by commands, for instance to in
                 dicate a frame in the STI or a entry in the palette.
    -o --output  Specifies an output file name or format string for output file
                 names.
    -O --offset  PAIR of offset data for x and y axis, that will be added to th
                 e imported images.
    -p --palette Filename of an Adobe(tm) palette file.
    -P --pivot   PAIR of x, y coordinates specifying the pivot point.
    -q --pal2    Filename of an Adobe(tm) palette file for the second set of im
                 ages (for alpha channel sti files).
    -Q --quiet   Don't output meta-information to console.
    -r --range   RANGE value used for all commands that allow to process multip
                 le frames/images at once.
    -R --raw     Import/export in raw mode.
    -s --sti     Specified the input STI file.
    -S --shadow  Specifies a COLOR value. Used on export as the color for shado
                 ws.
    -t --trans   If set, keep transparency when applying a palette.
    -u --output2 Specifies the output file name for the alpha channel sti file.
