bwhist display a histogram of a black and white bw file on a framebuffer
`bwhist` -v file.bw

## DESCRIPTION

`bwhist` displays a histogram of the pixel values in a bw 5 format file. If a file is not given, standard input is read. The output will be displayed on the frambuffer selected via the `FB_FILE` environment variable (see libfb 3).

The relative frequency is displayed on the x axis scaled so that the maximum is full screen. The value 0 is at the bottom of the screen, 255 is at the top. The output is overlaid on whatever is currently on the display.

The `-v` flag will output the histogram values on the terminal.
