Not clear. Do you want to convert the input file using rules/conditions from the description file, or vice versa? The "reserved" string doesn't show up in the input file, so why should it in the output? That expected line would be the output file structure, wouldn't it? And line length CAN be or HAS TO be 66?

Why don't you post your script attempts, an input file, and the output connected to it?

P.S.: While other frequently have to be reminded to use code tags, you are very generous with them. Unfortunately, that doesn't improve readability either...

ximtoppm

ximtoppm(1)                                                   General Commands Manual                                                  ximtoppm(1)

NAME

       ximtoppm - convert an Xim file into a portable pixmap

SYNOPSIS

       ximtoppm [--alphaout={alpha-filename,-}] [ximfile]

DESCRIPTION

       Reads an Xim file as input.  Produces a portable pixmap as output.  The Xim toolkit is included in the contrib tree of the X.V11R4 release.

OPTIONS

       --alphaout=alpha-filename
              ximtoppm  creates  a PGM (portable graymap) file containing the alpha channel values in the input image.  If the input image doesn't
              contain an alpha channel, the alpha-filename file contains all zero (transparent) alpha values.  If you  don't  specify  --alphaout,
              ximtoppm does not generate an alpha file, and if the input image has an alpha channel, ximtoppm simply discards it.

              If you specify - as the filename, ximtoppm writes the alpha output to Standard Output and discards the image.

              Actually,  an  Xim  image  can contain an arbitrary fourth channel -- it need not be an Alpha channel.  ximtoppm extracts any fourth
              channel it finds as described above; it doesn't matter if it is an alpha channel or not.

              See pnmcomp(1) for one way to use the alpha output file.

       All options can be abbreviated to their shortest unique prefix.
