## 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_EN‐
       CODED, which is smaller but, well, less standard.  The default is **-rle**.

       All flags can be abbreviated to their shortest unique prefix.
