ATKTOPBM(1)
π atktopbm β the manual, but make it cute
okay bestie, so this page lives in the Atktopbm User Manual, section (1) of the General Commands Manual, and it's genuinely one of the simplest little slays in the whole Netpbm family. no cap. let's get into it β¨
πΈ NAME πΈ
atktopbm β convert an Andrew Toolkit raster object into a PBM image π
β¨ SYNOPSIS β¨
atktopbm [atkfile]
π¦ DESCRIPTION π¦
so first things first: this program is part of Netpbm(1). that's the whole vibe. it's one lil piece of a much bigger iconic ecosystem.
atktopbm reads an Andrew Toolkit raster object as its input, and produces a PBM image as its output. that's it. that's the job. it eats the Andrew Toolkit raster object, it hands you back a PBM. lowkey the most straightforward transformation arc ever π
π OPTIONS π
okay so here's the tea: there are no command line options defined specifically for atktopbm. like, zero. none. it's giving minimalism π
BUT β and this is the important part β it does recognize the options that are common to all programs based on libnetpbm. so if you know your way around those, you already know your way around here.
See Common Options for the deets on those, bestie π«Ά
