Convert 2 (Man Page) to GIF

A 2 file extension refers to a Unix manual page (man page) that documents a specific system call. These files are part of the Section 2 of the Unix manual, which is dedicated to system calls. Each 2 file is named after the system call it describes, such as "link.2" for the "link" system call. These files are intended to be viewed using the "man" utility in Unix-based systems. Historically, they have been a fundamental part of Unix documentation, providing detailed information on how to use system calls, their return values, possible errors, and related manual pages.

The Graphics Interchange Format (GIF) is a bitmap image format developed by CompuServe in 1987. It is widely used for its support of animated images, allowing for the compression of graphics with low file sizes and without compromising quality. It's particularly popular on the internet for memes, short animations, and simple graphics due to its ability to loop animations seamlessly. GIFs support up to 256 colors and use the LZW compression algorithm to minimize file size. The format's historical significance lies in its ability to efficiently store and transmit images in an era of slower internet speeds and remains a staple in digital communication and web design today.
