pnmtorast(1) General Commands Manual pnmtorast(1)NAME
pnmtorast - convert a portable pixmap into a Sun rasterfile
SYNOPSIS
pnmtorast [-standard|-rle] [pnmfile]
DESCRIPTION
Reads a portable pixmap as input. Produces a Sun rasterfile as output.
Color values in Sun rasterfiles are eight bits wide, so pnmtorast will automatically scale colors to have a maxval of 255. An extra
pnmdepth step is not necessary.
OPTIONS
The -standard flag forces the result to be in RT_STANDARD form; the -rle flag, RT_BYTE_ENCODED, which is smaller but, well, less standard.
The default is -rle.
All flags can be abbreviated to their shortest unique prefix.

What is the point of this? Whenever I close my shell it appends to the history file without adding this. I have never seen it overwrite my history file.
# When the shell exits, append to the history file instead of overwriting it
