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.
