       NAME
             snftobdf - SNF to BDF font decompiler for X11

       SYNOPSIS
             snftobdf [-p#] [-u#] [-m] [-l] [-M] [-L] [snf-file]

       DESCRIPTION
             snftobdf reads a Server Normal Format (SNF) font from the
             specified file and writes an X11 Bitmap Distribution Format
             (BDF) to standard output.  This is a UnixWare-specific utility
             not in X11R5.

          Options
             -p #    Force the glyph padding to a specific number.  The
                     legal values are 1, 2, 4, and 8.  The default is 1.

             -u #    Force the scanline unit padding to a specific number.
                     The legal values are 1, 2, and 4.  The default is 1.

             -m      Force the bit order to most significant bit first.
                     This is the default.

             -l      Force the bit order to least significant bit first.

             -M      Force the byte order to most significant bit first.
                     This is the default.

             -L      Force the byte order to least significant bit first.
