NAME
       pnmtosgi - convert a portable anymap to a SGI image file

SYNOPSIS
       pnmtosgi [-verbatim|-rle] [-imagename Name] [pnmfile]

DESCRIPTION
       Reads  a  portable anymap as input. Produces an SGI image file as output.  The SGI image will
       be 2-dimensional (1 channel) for PBM and PGM input, and 3-dimensional (3 channels) for PPM.

OPTIONS
       -verbatim
              Write an uncompressed file.

       -rle (default)
              Write a compressed (run length encoded) file.

       -imagename name
              Write the string "name" into the imagename field of the header.  The  name  string  is
              limited  to  79  characters.  If no name is given, pnmtosgi writes "no name" into this
              field.

BUGS
       Probably.
