rletopnm - convert a Utah Raster Tools RLE image file to a PNM image file.

<P>All options may be abbreviated to their minimum unique abbreviation
and options and arguments may be in any order.
<H2 id="description">DESCRIPTION</H2>
<p>This program is part of <a href="index.html">Netpbm</a>.
<p><b>rletopnm</b> converts Utah Raster Toolkit RLE image files to PNM
image files. <B>rletopnm</B> handles four types of RLE files:
Grayscale (8 bit data, no color map), Pseudocolor (8 bit data with a
color map), Truecolor (24 bit data with color map), and Directcolor
(24 bit data, no color map). <B>rletopnm</B> generates a PPM file for
all these cases except for the Grayscale file, for which
<B>rletopnm</B> generates a PGM file.
<P><I>rlefile</I> is the RLE input file. If it is absent or <B>-</B>,
the input comes from Standard Input.
<H2 id="options">OPTIONS</H2>
<DL COMPACT>
<DT><B>--alphaout=</B><I>alpha-filename</I>
<DD>
<B>rletopnm </B> 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 <I>alpha-filename</I> file contains all
zero (transparent) transparency values. If you don't specify
<B>--alphaout</B>, <B>rletopnm</B> does not generate a transparency file,
and if the input image has a transparency channel, <B>rletopnm</B> simply
discards it.
<P>If you specify <B>-</B> as the filename, <B>rletopnm</B> writes the
transparency output to Standard Output and discards the image.
<P>See <B><A HREF="pamcomp.html">pamcomp</A></B> for one way to use
the transparency output file.
<DT><B>--verbose</B>
<DD>This option causes <B>rletopnm </B> to operate in verbose mode.
It prints messages about what it's doing, including the contents of
the RLE image header, to Standard Error.
<DT><B>--headerdump</B>
<DD>This option causes <B>rletopnm</B> 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.
</DL>
<H2 id="examples">EXAMPLES</H2>
<ul>
<li>While running in verbose mode, convert lenna.rle to PPM format and
store the resulting image as lenna.ppm:
<pre>
<kbd>
rletopnm --verbose lenna.rle >lenna.ppm
</kbd>
</pre>
<li>Dump the header information of the RLE file called file.rle:
<pre>
<kbd>
rletopnm --headerdump file.rle
</kbd>
</pre>
<li>Convert RLE file dart.rle to PPM format as dart.ppm. Store the
transparency channel of dart.rle as dartalpha.pgm (if dart.rle doesn't have
a transparency channel, store a fully transparent transparency mask as
dartalpha.pgm):
<pre>
<kbd>
rletopnm --alphaout=dartalpha.pgm dart.rle >dart.ppm
</kbd>
</pre>
</ul>
