NAME
      rletorla - convert a Utah RLE image file into
      a Wavefront "rlb" image file.

 SYNOPSIS
      rletorla [ -h ] [ -v ] [ infile ]

 DESCRIPTION
      This program converts Utah RLE(5) image files
      into Wavefront rlb image files.  Rletorla
      will handle four types of RLE files:
      Grayscale (8 bit data, no color map),
      Pseudocolor (8 bit data with a color map),
      Truecolor (24 bit data with color map), and
      Directcolor (24 bit data, no color map).  In
      each case the resulting Wavefront image file
      will contain RGB data as well as a matte
      channel.  If no alpha channel is found in the
      RLE file, the Wavefront matte channel will be
      computed using the RGB or mapped data.  The
      entire area of the Wavefront image will be
      run length encoded.  The size of the
      Wavefront "bounding box" data structure will
      be set to that of the total image area.

 OPTIONS
      -v   This option will cause rletorla to
           operate in verbose mode.  Header
           information is printed to "stderr".

      -h   This option allows the header of the RLE
           file to be dumped to "stderr" without
           converting the file.  It is equivalent
           to using the -v option except that no
           file conversion takes place.

      infile
           The name of the RLE image data file to
           be converted.  The name of the resulting
           Wavefront file will be derived from the
           name of the input file -- the extension
           will be changed from "rle" to "rla".
           (Note: if you use the extended input
           file names described in urt(1), this
           will result in a very strange filename
           for the Wavefront file.

 EXAMPLES
      rletorla -v lenna.rle
           While running in verbose mode, convert
           lenna.rle to Wavefront rlb format and
           store resulting data in lenna.rla.

      rletorla -h test.0001.rle
           Dump the header information of the RLE
           file called test.0001.rle.
