pnmtorast - convert a portable pixmap into a Sun rasterfile
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B pnmtorast
.RB [ -nomap ]
.RB [ -standard | -rle ]
.RI [ pnmfile ]
.SH DESCRIPTION
Reads a portable pixmap as input.
Produces a Sun rasterfile as output.
.IX Sun
.IX rasterfile
.PP
Color values in Sun rasterfiles are eight bits wide, so
.I pnmtorast
will automatically scale colors to have a maxval of 255.
An extra
.I pnmdepth
step is not necessary.
.SH OPTIONS
.PP
The
.B -nomap
flag tells
.I pnmtorast
to skip trying to figure out if a color input file can be written with
a colormap, and to just go ahead and write a 24-bit RGB file.
.PP
The
.B -standard
flag forces the result to be in RT_STANDARD form; the
.B -rle
flag, RT_BYTE_ENCODED, which is smaller but, well, less standard.
The default is
.BR -rle .
.PP
All flags can be abbreviated to their shortest unique prefix.
