SYNOPSIS

      pnmtosgi [-verbatim|-rle] [-imagename Name] [pnmfile]

DESCRIPTION

      Reads a portable anymap as input. Produces an SGI image file as
      output.  The SGI image will be 2-dimensional (1 channel) for PBM and
      PGM input, and 3-dimensional (3 channels) for PPM.

OPTIONS

      -verbatim
           Write an uncompressed file.
      -rle (default)
           Write a compressed (run length encoded) file.
      -imagename name
           Write the string "name" into the imagename field of the header.
           The name string is limited to 79 characters.  If no name is
           given, pnmtosgi writes "no name" into this field.

BUGS

      Probably.
