            "content": "--alphaout=alpha-filename\nximtoppm creates a PGM (portable graymap) file containing the alpha channel values  in\nthe input image.  If the input image doesn't contain an alpha channel, the alpha-file‐\nname file contains all zero (transparent) alpha values.  If you  don't  specify  --al‐‐\nphaout,  ximtoppm does not generate an alpha file, and if the input image has an alpha\nchannel, ximtoppm simply discards it.\n\nIf you specify - as the filename, ximtoppm writes the alpha output to Standard  Output\nand discards the image.\n\nActually,  an  Xim  image can contain an arbitrary fourth channel -- it need not be an\nAlpha channel.  ximtoppm extracts any fourth channel it finds as described  above;  it\ndoesn't matter if it is an alpha channel or not.\n\nSee pnmcomp(1) for one way to use the alpha output file.\n\n\nAll options can be abbreviated to their shortest unique prefix.\n\n",
