.SH DESCRIPTION
.PP
This program is part of
.BR "Netpbm" (1)\c
\&.
.PP
\fBpnmtorast\fPreads a PPM image as input and produces a Sun
rasterfile as output.
.PP
Color values in Sun rasterfiles are eight bits wide, so
\fBpnmtorast\fP will automatically scale colors to have a maxval of
255.  An extra \fBpamdepth\fP step is not necessary.

.UN lbAE
.SH OPTIONS
.PP
The \fB-standard\fP option forces the result to be in RT_STANDARD
form; the \fB-rle\fP option, RT_BYTE_ENCODED, which is smaller but,
well, less standard.  The default is \fB-rle\fP.
.PP
All options can be abbreviated to their shortest unique prefix.
