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.
