NAME

       winicontoppm  -  convert  a  Windows  .ico file into 1 or more portable
       pixmap files

SYNOPSIS

       winicontoppm [-writeands] [-allicons|-bestqual] [-multippm]  [-verbose]
       [iconfile] [ppmdestfile]

DESCRIPTION

       Reads a Microsoft Windows .ico file, converts it to one or more ppms.

       A  Windows icon contains 1 or more images, at different resolutions and
       color  depths.   Each  image  has  an  ’and’   mask,   which   contains
       transparancy data.

       By  default,  the  output  goes  to  Standard  Output.   If you specify
       ppmdestfile, output goes into one or more files named as  follows.   If
       it’s  just  one  file  (i.e.  you specify the -multippm option or don’t
       specify -allicons), the file specification is ppmdestfile.ppm.  If it’s
       multiple   files,  their  file  specifications  are  ppmdestfile_1.ppm,
       ppmdestfile_2.ppm, etc.

       When you  specify  the  -writeands  option,  the  filenames  above  are
       modified  to  include  the  string  xor  as  in  ppmdestfile_xor.ppm or
       ppmdestfile_xor_1.ppm.

       winicontoppm can convert images with 1, 4, 8, 24 or 32 bits  per  pixel
       (bpp).

OPTIONS

       -writeands
              For  each icon written, also write the ’and’ (transparancy) mask
              as  a  seperate  PBM  file.   It’s   name   is   of   the   form
              ppmdestfile_and.pbm or ppmdestfile_and_1.pbm.

       -allicons
              Extract all images from the .ico file.

       -bestqual
              Extract  only the best quality (largest, then highest bpp) image
              from the .ico file.

       -multippm
              Write all ppms to a single file.
