NAME
       pnmtorast - convert a PPM into a Sun rasterfile


SYNOPSIS
       pnmtorast [-standard|-rle] [pnmfile]


DESCRIPTION
       This program is part of Netpbm(1).

       pnmtorastreads a PPM image as input and 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 pamdepth step is not necessary.


OPTIONS
       In addition to the options common to all programs based on libnetpbm  (most  notably  -quiet,
       see  Common Options ), pnmtorast recognizes the following command line options:

       All options can be abbreviated to their shortest unique prefix.



       -standard

              Forces the result to be in RT_STANDARD form.


       -rle

              Forces the result to be in RT_BYTE_ENCODED, which is smaller but, well, less standard.

              The default is -rle.
