# xcftopnm(1p)

xcftopnm - convert xcf files to pnm files

```
 xcftopnm [-layer N] [xcffile]
```

This is a rough and slow implementation of a xcf2pnm filter, to be used by other programs that want to be able to read xcf images. If ussage increases this program will doubtlessly be sped up as well.\
 **OPTIONS** Select the `"N"`th layer, instead of flattening the whole image.
