Detecting images containing only black pixels

Question

I am looking for a method for detecting if an image contains only black pixels. When I say method I mean an existing command line tool. I could write up something myself but I'm sure something probably exists already.

Do you want to detect exact black pictures RGB(0,0,0), or also dark pictures like ones with too short exposure? — Jonas Stein, Sep 13 '14 at 17:05

I bet that Imagemagick is what you want. In fact, there's an Imagemagick forum entry that probably fits your needs.
