FD2PICIO(1)  —  Pixar Programmer’s Manual

NAME

fd2picio− convert a fast-disk picture file into a standard picio picture file

SYNOPSIS

fd2picio fd_file picio_file [ options ]

DESCRIPTION

fd2picio converts the picture contained in the Fast-Disk “tile-based” picture file fd_file into the Pixar-standard picture file picio_file in the UNIX filesystem.  If picio_file exists, a confirmation is requested before deleting the old version.  The created file conforms to Pixar’s standards for tile-based picture files (see “The Format of Stored Pictures” in the ChapLibraries User’s Manual) and can be retrieved with the program gt.

If fd_file does not begin with a slash (/), it is interpreted to be relative to the current Fast-Disk working directory specified by the FDCWD environment variable (see fdcwd(7)).

Options:

−v (verbose) elicits typeout of the created file name. 

−12bit
indicates that pixel information should be stored with 12 bits per channel.
