convert -verbose imagefile without converting anything

[Joel Hammer]

Is there a way to get the -verbose option with either convert or display to
print out the image info without actually converting or displaying the
image?
I can fake it with:
convert -verbose image.TIF garbage.TIF
Which essentially just copies the file and is fairly quick, but I really
think there must be a way just to avoid the "conversion" completely.

Thanks,
Joel
