srftopam

Convert Sun rasterfile to PAM image format

TLDR

Convert an SRF file to Netpbm format

$ srftopam [path/to/file.srf] > [path/to/output.pam]
copy

SYNOPSIS

srftopam [rasterfile]

PARAMETERS

rasterfile
    The name of the Sun rasterfile to convert. If no file is specified, srftopam reads from standard input.

DESCRIPTION

The srftopam command converts a Sun rasterfile image to a PAM (Portable Arbitrary Map) image format. PAM is a general-purpose image format used in the Netpbm suite of tools. This command allows users to transform older Sun rasterfiles into a more versatile and widely supported format that can be easily manipulated and converted to other formats using the Netpbm toolset. The output PAM image will contain the pixel data from the input Sun rasterfile.
This enables incorporation of older Sun rasterfile images into modern workflows. The color depth and image dimensions will be retained during the conversion process. When dealing with color rasterfiles, srftopam preserves the color information ensuring an accurate representation of the original image in the resulting PAM file.
Note that if the input is not a valid Sun rasterfile, srftopam might produce undefined results or an error message.

USAGE EXAMPLES

To convert a Sun rasterfile named 'image.ras' to a PAM file named 'image.pam', you would use the following command:
srftopam image.ras > image.pam
To convert a Sun rasterfile from standard input to a PAM file written to standard output: srftopam < image.ras > image.pam
