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 ), pn‐
       mtorast 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.
