-.TH PPMTOANSI 1 "January 12, 1997"
-.SH NAME
-ppmtoansi \- Graphics Conversion Program For Extended ANSI Escape Codes
-.SH SYNOPSIS
-.B ppmtoansi
-[
-.SM \-b
-r/g/b ] [
-.SM \-t
-r/g/b:idx] [
-.SM \-x
-<xoffset> ] [
-.SM \-y
-<yoffset> ] [
-<filename> ]
-.SH DESCRIPTION
-.I ppmtoansi
-converts input files in
-.IR ppm (5)
-format to escape sequences that are understood by
-.IR etherboot .
-This allows for displaying icons and logos on the BOOT-Prom's splash
-screen.
-.PP
-If no input file is specified, data is read from
-.IR standard
-.IR input .
-All output is send to
-.IR standard
-.IR output ,
-error messages go to
-.IR standard
-.IR error .
-.I ppmtoansi
-tries to do some compression and minimizes the output filesize.
-.SH OPTIONS
-.TP
-.B \-b
-Specifies the
-.IR red ,
-.IR green , and
-.IR blue
-intensities for the background color. This information is
-used for providing a shape mask. All values are in the range from 0 to
-255.
-.TP
-.B \-t
-Allows for explicitly providing a translation between color values and
-color indices. The indices are in the range 0 to 7 and conform to the
-standard
-.IR ANSI
-.IR colorcodes .
-.RS
-.PP
-0 black 4 blue
-.PP
-1 red 5 magenta
-.PP
-2 green 6 cyan
-.PP
-3 yellow 7 white
-.PP
-If no translations apply,
-.IR ppmtoansi
-will automatically select the color that is closest.
-.RE
-.TP
-.B \-x
-Specify an X offset relative to the current text cursor position.
-.TP
-.B \-y
-Specify an Y offset relative to the current text cursor position.
-.SH FILE FORMAT
-.IR ppmtoansi
-uses these extensions to the standard
-.B ANSI escape
-.BR codes .
-.TP
-.B <esc>[a;b;c;d+<data>
-Draw pixel data. Use one byte per pixel. Colors are encoded as shown
-above. In text mode, graphics is approximated by outputting suitable
-characters. Parameters differ depending on the number of parameters
-passed:
-.RS
-.TP
-.B cnt
-.IR cnt
-data bytes follow. They will be drawn to the right of the last
-graphics position.
-.TP
-.B rle;col
-The next
-.IR rle
-pixels have the value
-.IR col .
-They will be drawn to the right of the last graphics position. No data
-bytes follow.
-.TP
-.B x;y;cnt
-.IR cnt
-data bytes follow. They will be drawn relative to the top left corner
-of the text cursor with an offset of
-.RI ( x / y ).
-.TP
-.B x;y;rle;col
-the next
-.IR rle
-pixels have the value
-.IR col .
-They will be drawn relative to the top left corner of the text cursor
-with an offset of
-.RI ( x / y ).
-No data bytes follow.
-.RE
-.TP
-.B <esc>[a;b;c;d\-<data>
-same as above, but pack pixels into three bits. The first pixel is
-stored in the three most significant bits of the first data byte.
