.Bl -tag
.It Fl c
Crop extraneous transparent blue from real sprites.

Write output in GRF format to <file>.
.It Fl -nfo Ns = Ns Ar file
Write output in NFO format to <file>.
.It Fl -nml Ns = Ns Ar file
Write output in NML format to <file>.
.It Fl -output Ns = Ns Ar file | Fl o Ar file
Write output to <file>. The output type is detected from the extension
of the filename. It must be one of nfo, nml or grf.
.It Fl -md5 Ns = Ns Ar file
Write an md5sum of the resulting grf to <file>.
