`fbimg`: display images in the Linux Framebuffer

Display images in tty using the Linux Framebuffer!

Original code found in Qt Documentation, a little bit modified by Hugo Rodde.

The stb_image library is part of the stb single-file public-domain libraries collection.

Supports every image format supported by stb_image.h (jpeg, png, bmp, hdr, psd, tga, gif, pic, psd, pgm, ppm).

Only the first image of animated gifs is displayed.

Compiling

Simply use

gcc -o fbimg fbimg.c -lm

Sadly, the Framebuffer is a Linux-only feature.

./fbimg path/to/img.png

Important

You need either to run it as root, either to add yourself in the video group!

Use stbimg instead of libpng to support more image formats
Allow the user to draw at any position on screen via CLI arguments
Allow the user to crop the image via CLI arguments
Add an option to rezise the image if it is too big for the screen (using this for example)
Add -v (--verbose) that print the commented stuff
Add -h (--help)
Support videos
- Get videos frame by frame and display each frame
- Arrow keys to skip 5 seconds
