file
SYNOPSISwinicontopam [-image=index | -allimages] [-andmasks] [-verbose]
[icon_file]
All options can be abbreviated to their shortest unique prefix. You
may use two hyphens instead of one to designate an option. You may use
either white space or equals signs between an option name and its
value.
DESCRIPTION
This program is part of Netpbm(1)winicontopam reads a Microsoft Windows icon file and converts it to one
or more RGB_ALPHA Netpbm PAM files.
The alpha channel is copied from the 8-bit transparency data from the
icon, if present. If no 8-bit transparency data is available, the
alpha channel is constructed from the so-called ‘AND mask’.
The output goes to Standard Output.
The output is a multi-image PAM file. If you want a separate file for
each image, use pamsplit(1)OPTIONS
In addition to the options common to all programs based on libnetpbm
(most notably -quiet, see Common Options ⟨index.html#commonoptions⟩ ),
winicontopam recognizes the following command line options:
-allimages
Convert all images in the input.
You may not specify this together with -image.
By default, winicontopam converts only the one ‘best qual‐
ity’ image (largest, then most bits per pixel).
-image=index
Convert image number index (starting with zero).
You may not specify this together with -allimages.
By default, winicontopam converts the ‘best quality’
image (largest, then most bits per pixel).
-andmasks
If the image to be extracted contains both 8-bit transparency
data and AND mask, write a five-channel Netpbm PAM file with the
AND mask stored to the fifth plane.

HISTORYwinicontopam was new in Netpbm 10.63 (June 2013). It obsoleted wini‐
contoppm by providing more function and conforming better to Netpbm
conventions.
