+.UN description
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.PP
+This program is part of
+.BR "Netpbm" (1)\c
+\&.
+.PP
+\fBxpbtoppm\fP reads an X11 pixmap (XPM version 1 or 3) as input
+and produces a PPM image as output.
+
+.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
+\&), \fBxpmtoppm\fP recognizes the following
+command line options:
+
+
+.TP
+\fB--alphaout=\fP\fIalpha-filename\fP
+\fBxpmtoppm\fP creates a PBM file containing the transparency
+mask for the image. If the input image doesn't contain transparency
+information, the \fIalpha-filename\fP file contains all white
+(opaque) transparency values. If you don't specify \fB--alphaout\fP,
+\fBxpmtoppm\fP does not generate a transparency file, and if the input
+image has transparency information, \fBxpmtoppm\fP simply discards
+it.
+.sp
+If you specify \fB-\fP as the filename, \fBxpmtoppm\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.
+.sp
+\fBxpmtoppm\fP can't handle a line longer than 8K characters in
+the XPM input. If an input line exceeds this limit,
+\fBxpmtoppm\fP quits with an error message to that effect. Before
+Netpbm 10.30 (October 2005), the limit was 2K.
+
+.TP
+\fB--verbose\fP
+\fBxpmtoppm\fP prints information about its processing on Standard Error.
+
+
+
+.UN limitations
+.SH LIMITATIONS
+.PP
+\fBxpmtoppm\fP recognizes only a limited set of the features of XPM
+Version 3; i.e. it rejects as invalid many valid XPM images.
+.PP
+The only place a comment block is valid is starting in Column 1 of the
+line immediately after "static char ...".
+.PP
+In addition, \fBppmtoxpm\fP properly recognizes any single-line
+comment that begins in Column 1 in the color table part of the file.
+.PP
+There must be for every pixel a default colorname for a color type visual.
+.PP
+Before Netpbm 10.58 (March 2012), zero bytes per pixel causes the program
+to fail with a message about premature EOF on input.
