If it is absent or \fB-\fP, +the input comes from Standard Input. + +.UN options +.SH OPTIONS +.PP +In addition to the options common to all programs based on libnetpbm +(most notably \fB-quiet\fP, see +.UR index.html#commonoptions + Common Options +.UE +\&), \fBrletopnm\fP recognizes the following +command line options: + + +.TP +\fB--alphaout=\fP\fIalpha-filename\fP +\fBrletopnm \fP creates a PGM (portable graymap) file containing the +transparency channel values in the input image. If the input image doesn't +contain an transparency channel, the \fIalpha-filename\fP file contains all +zero (transparent) transparency values. If you don't specify +\fB--alphaout\fP, \fBrletopnm\fP does not generate a transparency file, +and if the input image has a transparency channel, \fBrletopnm\fP simply +discards it. +.sp +If you specify \fB-\fP as the filename, \fBrletopnm\fP writes the +transparency output to Standard Output and discards the image. +.sp +See +.BR "pamcomp" (1)\c +\& for one way to use +the transparency output file. + +.TP +\fB--verbose\fP +This option causes \fBrletopnm \fP to operate in verbose mode. +It prints messages about what it's doing, including the contents of +the RLE image header, to Standard Error. + +.TP +\fB--headerdump\fP +This option causes \fBrletopnm\fP to operate in header dump mode. +It prints the contents of the RLE image header to Standard Error, but +does not produce any other output. + + + +.UN examples +.SH EXAMPLES + + +.IP \(bu +While running in verbose mode, convert lenna.rle to PPM format and +store the resulting image as lenna.ppm: + +.nf +\f(CW + rletopnm --verbose lenna.rle >lenna.ppm +\fP + +.fi + +.IP \(bu +Dump the header information of the RLE file called file.rle: + +.nf +\f(CW + rletopnm --headerdump file.rle +\fP + +.fi + +.IP \(bu +Convert RLE file dart.rle to PPM format as dart.ppm.
