All options can be abbreviated to their shortest unique prefix. You may use two hyphens instead of one to designate an option. You may use either white space or equals signs between an option name and its value.
This program is part of Netpbm.
winicontopam reads a Microsoft Windows icon file and converts it to one or more RGB_ALPHA Netpbm PAM files.
The transparency channel is copied from the 8-bit transparency data from the icon, if present. If no 8-bit transparency data is available, the transparency channel is constructed from the so-called ‘AND mask’.
The output goes to Standard Output.
The output is a multi-image PAM file. If you want a separate file for each image, use pamsplit.
You may not specify this together with -image.
By default, winicontopam converts only the one ‘best quality’ image (largest, then most bits per pixel).

winicontopam was new in Netpbm 10.63 (June 2013). It obsoleted winicontoppm by providing more function and conforming better to Netpbm conventions.
