NAME
       sbigtopgm - convert an SBIG CCDOPS file to PGM

SYNOPSIS
       sbigtopgm

       [sbigfile]

DESCRIPTION
       This program is part of Netpbm(1).

       sbigtopgm reads an image file in the native format used by the Santa Barbara Instrument Group (SBIG) astronomical CCD
       cameras,	 and  produces	a PGM image as output.	Additional information on SBIG cameras and documentation of the file
       format is available at the Web site, http://www.sbig.com/ .

       sbigtopgm recognizes some variation on the documented SBIG Type 3  format.   It	allows	any  capitalization  in	 the
       header.	 It ignores all whitespace in the header except newlines.  So a header line can end in newline, CRLF, or the
       bizarre LF-CR actually required by the spec.

OPTIONS
       There are no command line options defined specifically for sbigtopgm, but it recognizes the  options  common  to	 all
       programs based on libnetpbm (See	 Common Options .)
