NAME
       tgatoppm - convert TrueVision Targa file to a PPM image

SYNOPSIS
       tgatoppm	     [--alphaout={alpha-filename,-}]	  [--headerdump] tga-filename

DESCRIPTION
       This program is part of Netpbm(1).

       tgatoppm reads a TrueVision Targa file as input and produces a PPM image as output.

OPTIONS
       In  addition  to	 the  options common to all programs based on libnetpbm (most notably -quiet, see  Common Options ),
       tgatoppm recognizes the following command line options:

       All options can be abbreviated to their shortest unique prefix.

       --alphaout=alpha-filename
	      tgatoppm	creates a PGM image containing the transparency channel values in the input image.  If the input im‐
	      age doesn't contain a transparency channel, the alpha-filename file contains  all	 zero  (transparent)  trans‐
	      parency  values.	 If you don't specify --alphaout, tgatoppm does not generate an alpha file, and if the input
	      image has a transparency channel, tgatoppm simply discards it.

	      If you specify - as the filename, tgatoppm writes the transparency output to Standard Output and discards	 the
	      image.

	      See pamcomp(1) for one way to use the transparency output file.

       --headerdump
	      Causes tgatoppm to dump information from the TGA header to Standard Error.
