+pngcheck verifies the integrity of PNG, JNG, and MNG files (by
+checking the internal 32-bit CRCs [checksums] and decompressing
+the image data); it can optionally dump almost all of the chunk-level
+information in the image in human-readable form. For example, it
+can be used to print the basic statistics about an image (dimensions,
+bit depth, etc.); to list the color and transparency info in its
+palette (assuming it has one); or to extract the embedded text
+annotations. This is a command-line program with batch capabilities.
