NAME
       tifftorle - Convert TIFF image files to RLE.

SYNOPSIS
       tifftorle [ -o outfile.rle ] infile.tif

DESCRIPTION
       This program converts a TIFF image to RLE(5) format.

OPTIONS
       -o outfile.rle
              If specified, the output will be written to this file.  If
              outfile.rle is "-", or if it is not specified, the output will
              be written to the standard output stream.

       infile.tif
              The input will be read from this file.  infile.tif must be a
              real file, the special cases described in urt(1) do not apply
              here.

LIMITATIONS
       Can't handle RGB TIFF files with a separate planar configuration.
       Can't handle tiled TIFF files.
