NAME
       xpmtoppm - convert an X11 pixmap into a portable pixmap

SYNOPSIS
       xpmtoppm [--alphaout={alpha-filename,-}] [-verbose] [xpmfile]

DESCRIPTION
       Reads an X11 pixmap (XPM version 1 or 3) as input.  Produces a PPM file
       as output.

OPTIONS
       --alphaout=alpha-filename
	      xpmtoppm creates a PBM file containing the transparency mask for
	      the  image.   If	the  input  image doesn't contain transparency
	      information, the alpha-filename file contains all white (opaque)
	      alpha  values.   If  you don't specify --alphaout, xpmtoppm does
	      not generate an alpha file, and if the input  image  has	trans‐
	      parency information, xpmtoppm simply discards it.

	      If you specify - as the filename, xpmtoppm writes the alpha out‐
	      put to Standard Output and discards the image.

	      See pnmcomp(1) for one way to use the alpha output file.

       --verbose
	      xpmtoppm prints information about	 its  processing  on  Standard
	      Error.

LIMITATIONS
       The  support  to	 XPM version 3 is limited. Comments can only be single
       lines and there must be for every pixel a default colorname for a color
       type visual.
