ilbmtoppm - convert an ILBM file into a portable pixmap

ilbmtoppm [ -verbose ] [ -ignore <chunkID> ] [ -isham | -isehb ] [ -adjustcolors ] [ ILBMfile ]

Reads an IFF ILBM file as input. Produces a portable pixmap as output. Supported ILBM types are:

• Normal ILBMs with 1-16 planes.
• Amiga Extra_Halfbrite (EHB)
• Amiga HAM with 3-16 planes.
• 24 bit.
• Multiplatte (normal or HAM) pictures.
• Color map (BMHD + CMAP chunk only, nPlanes = 0).
• Unofficial direct color.
      1-16 planes for each color component.
• Chunks used:
      BMHD, CMAP, CAMG (only HAM & EHB flags used), PCHG, BODY unofficial DCOL chunk to identify direct color ILBM
• Chunks ignored:
      GRAB, DEST, SPRT, CRNG, CCRT, CLUT, DPPV, DRNG, EPSF
• Other chunks (ignored but displayed in verbose mode):
      NAME, AUTH, (c), ANNO, DPI
• Unknown chunks are skipped.
      .SH OPTIONS

-verbose

    Give some information about the ILBM file.

-ignore <chunkID>

    Skip a chunk. <chunkID> is the 4-letter IFF chunk identifier of the chunk to be skipped.

-isham | -isehb

    Treat the input file as a HAM or Extra_Halfbrite picture, even if these flags or not set in the CAMG chunk (or if there is no CAMG chunk).

-adjustcolors

    If all colors in the CMAP have a value of less then 16, ilbmtoppm assumes a 4-bit colormap and gives a warning. With this option the colormap is scaled to 8 bits.

The multipalette PCHG BigLineChanges and Huffman decompression code is untested.
