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.
