NAME

pbmtorast - convert a portable bitmap into a Sun rasterfile

SYNOPSIS

pbmtorast [-s] [pbmfile]

DESCRIPTION

Reads a portable bitmap as input.  Produces a Sun rasterfile as output.  NOTE: since it uses Sun-specific include files and libraries, pbmtorast will compile only on Suns. 

The -s flag forces the result to be in RT_STANDARD form; otherwise, it defaults to RT_BYTE_ENCODED, which is smaller but, well, less standard. 

The ppmtorast filter provides the same functionality as pbmtorast, in addition to handling color images; but pbmtorast is worth keeping, since it is significantly faster.
