NAME

       tgatoppm - convert TrueVision Targa file to a PPM image

SYNOPSIS

       tgatoppm      [--alphaout={alpha-filename,-}]      [--headerdump] tga-filename

DESCRIPTION

       This program is part of Netpbm(1).

       tgatoppm reads a TrueVision Targa file as input and produces a PPM image as output.

OPTIONS

       In addition to the options common to all programs based on libnetpbm (most notably -quiet,
       see
        Common Options ⟨index.html#commonoptions⟩ ), tgatoppm recognizes  the  following  command
       line options:

       All options can be abbreviated to their shortest unique prefix.

       --alphaout=alpha-filename
              tgatoppm   creates  a  PGM  image containing the transparency channel values in the
              input image.  If the input image doesn't contain a transparency channel, the alpha-
              filename  file  contains  all zero (transparent) transparency values.  If you don't
              specify --alphaout, tgatoppm does not generate an alpha  file,  and  if  the  input
              image has a transparency channel, tgatoppm simply discards it.

              If  you  specify  -  as  the  filename,  tgatoppm writes the transparency output to
              Standard Output and discards the image.

              See pamcomp(1) for one way to use the transparency output file.

       --headerdump
              Causes tgatoppm to dump information from the TGA header to Standard Error.
