ppmtotga - convert portable pixmap into a TrueVision Targa file
SYNOPSIS
ppmtotga [-mono|-cmap|-rgb] [-norle] [ppmfile]
DESCRIPTION
Reads a portable pixmap as input. Produces a TrueVision Targa file as output.
OPTIONS -mono Forces Targa file to be of type 8 bit monochrome. Input must be a portable bitmap or a portable graymap.
-cmap Forces Targa file to be of type 24 bit colormapped. Input must be a portable bitmap, a portable graymap or a portable pixmap con-
taining no more than 256 distinct colors.
-rgb Forces Targa file to be of type 24 bit unmapped color.
-norle Disables run-length encoding, in case you have a Targa reader which can't read run-length encoded files.
All flags can be abbreviated to their shortest unique prefix. If no file type is specified the most highly constained compatible type is
used, where monochrome is more constained than colormapped which is in turn more constained than unmapped.
BUGS
Does not support all possible Targa file types. Should really be in PNM, not PPM.

I have seen some misinformation regarding Unix file permissions. I will try to set the record straight. Take a look at this example of some output from ls:

Suppose I have a main() function with only one malloc statement allocating say some 1 gb memory. Also say my system has 1 gb of ram.
main()

malloc(1gb)
return(0)
}
The program above exits without freeing the memory.
In this case will the 1 gb of heap memory be returned... (9 Replies)
I see lot of ad-hoc shell scripts in our servers which don't have a shebang at the beginning .
Does this mean that it will run on any shell ?
Is it a good practice to create scripts (even ad-hoc ones) without shebang ? (16 Replies)
