NAME
    pcxtoppm - convert a PCX file into a portable pixmap

SYNOPSIS
    pcxtoppm [-stdpalette] [pcxfile]

DESCRIPTION
    Reads a PCX file as input. Produces a portable pixmap as output. Sup-
    ported PCX types are:

    Colormapped files with 2-16 colors.
    "Packed pixel" format (1, 2 or 4 bits/pixel, 1 plane) or bit-
    plane format (1 bit/pixel, 1-4 planes). The program checks the
    colormap and uses an internal one if the provided colormap is
    completely black.

    Colormapped files with 256 colors
    8 bits/pixel, 1 plane, colormap at the end of the file.

    24bit truecolor files
    24bit RGB: 8 bits/pixel, 3 planes.

    32bit truecolor files
    24bit RGB + 8bit intensity: 8 bits/pixel, 4 planes.

OPTIONS
    -stdpalette
    Enforce the use of the internal colormap for files with 16 col-
    ors or less.
