If the  image type is  supported by the TeX  engine (jpeg,
png, pdf, mps) it is directly included. SVG files inkscape
is  called to  convert  the  SVG to  PDF.  For EPS  images
ghostscript is used:

strace results:

execve("/usr/bin/gs", ["gs", "-q", "-sDEVICE=pdfwrite",
	"-dNOPAUSE", "-dNOCACHE", "-dBATCH",
	"-dAutoRotatePages=/None", "-dPDFSETTINGS=/prepress",
	"-dEPSCrop", "-sOutputFile=m_k_i_v_graph.pdf",
	"graph.eps", "-c", "quit"], [/* 55 vars */])
