OPTIONS

In addition to the options common to all programs based on libnetpbm (most notably -quiet, see Common Options), pcxtoppm recognizes the following command line options:

-stdpalette
This option causes pcxtoppm to use its predefined standard palette even if the PCX image provides its own. This is meaningful only for an image in the 16 color paletted PCX format.

The image may appear to provide its own palette but in fact be created by a program too primitive to understand palettes that created a random palette by accident.

-verbose
Report details of the PCX header.
