NAME
      tifftopnm - convert a TIFF file into a portable anymap

SYNOPSIS
      tifftopnm [-headerdump] [tifffile]

DESCRIPTION
      Reads a TIFF file as input.  Produces a portable anymap as output.  The
      type of the output file depends on the input file - if it's black &
      white, a pbm file is written, else if it's grayscale a pgm file, else a
      ppm file.  The program tells you which type it is writing.

OPTIONS
      -headerdump
            Dump TIFF file information to stderr.  This information may be
            useful in debugging TIFF file conversion problems.

      All flags can be abbreviated to their shortest unique prefix.

SEE ALSO

BUGS
      This program is not self-contained.  To use it you must fetch the TIFF
      Software package listed in the OTHER.SYSTEMS file and configure PBMPLUS
      to use libtiff.  See PBMPLUS's Makefile for details on this
      configuration.
