On godoc.org
img2ansi is built to work with streams and can operate on standard input.
So, while it natively supports GET requests against HTTP URLs you can pipe data
in from curl, netcat, or whatever else.
curl https://i.imgur.com/872FDBm.gif | img2ansi -animate -width=80 -repeat=5
netcat -lp 8000 | img2ansi -animate -width=80
The output of img2ansi can be redirected to a file and replayed later using
cat.
img2ansi -animate -width=80 -repeat=5 https://i.imgur.com/872FDBm.gif > awesome
cat awesome
Better yet, the output can be compressed using a program like gzip
img2ansi -animate -width=80 -repeat=5 https://i.imgur.com/872FDBm.gif | gzip > awesome.gz
gzip -dc awesome.gz
The size difference can be substantial for large images (like GIFs).

For simple manipulation and combination of images and text unix-friendly tools
like those provided by ImageMagick can be piped
directly into img2ansi.
