Sometimes when something seems too obvious to be true, then in fact it 
may actually be that obvious. :-)

Always keep in mind that the GraphicsMagick library was derived from 
ImageMagick which was originally just some command-line utilities 
(without any library) and the software is evolved over a span of 21 
years.  Due to the command-line utility heritage, the internals of 
much of GraphicsMagick is oriented toward satisfying the 
implementation needs of a command line utility.

When in doubt, consult the documentation for the command line 
utility.
