            "content": "Stream  is  a lightweight tool to stream one or more pixel components of the image or portion\nof the image to your choice of storage formats.  It writes the pixel components as  they  are\nread  from  the input image a row at a time making stream-im6.q16 desirable when working with\nlarge images or when you require raw pixel components.\n\nFor   more   information   about   the   stream    command,    point    your    browser    to\nfile:///usr/share/doc/imagemagick-6-common/html/www/stream.html (on debian system you may in‐\nstall the imagemagick-6 package) or https://www.imagemagick.org/script/stream.php.\n",

To specify a par‐\nticular image format, precede the filename with an image format name and a colon (i.e. ps:im‐\nage) or specify the image type as the filename suffix (i.e. image.ps).  Specify 'file' as '-'\nfor standard input or output.\n",
