Convert 6 (Man Page) to GIF

The 6 file extension refers to Unix Section 6 Manual Pages, which document games and screensavers in Unix-based systems. These manual pages, accessible via the "man" command, provide instructions and details about various entertainment programs. Originating from the Unix Programmer's Manual developed by Dennis Ritchie and Ken Thompson in 1971, these files offer insights into text-based and graphical games, such as "fortune", "cowsay", and "tetris".

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.
