<h2>NAME</h2>

tgatoppm - convert TrueVision Targa file to a PPM image

<h2 id="synopsis">SYNOPSIS</h2>

<b>tgatoppm</b>
	[<b>--alphaout=</b>{<i>alpha-filename</i>,<b>-</b>}]
	[<b>--headerdump</b>] <i>tga-filename</i>

<h2 id="description">DESCRIPTION</h2>

<p>This program is part of <a href="index.html">Netpbm</a>.

<p><b>tgatoppm</b> reads a TrueVision Targa file as input and produces
a PPM image as output.

<h2 id="options">OPTIONS</h2>

<p>In addition to the options common to all programs based on libnetpbm
(most notably <b>-quiet</b>, see <a href="index.html#commonoptions">
Common Options</a>), <b>tgatoppm</b> recognizes the following
command line options:

<p>All options can be abbreviated to their shortest unique prefix.

<dl compact>

<dt><b>--alphaout=</b><i>alpha-filename</i>

<dd><b>tgatoppm </b> creates a PGM image containing the transparency channel
values in the input image.  If the input image doesn't contain a
transparency channel, the <i>alpha-filename</i> file contains all zero
(transparent) transparency values.  If you don't specify <b>--alphaout</b>,
<b>tgatoppm</b> does not generate an alpha file, and if the input
image has a transparency channel, <b>tgatoppm</b> simply discards it.

<p>If you specify <b>-</b> as the filename, <b>tgatoppm</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>--headerdump</b>

<dd>Causes <b>tgatoppm</b> to dump information from the TGA header to
Standard Error.
