✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

So this lil cutie is part of Netpbm(1), which you already knew, because obviously.

cistopbm reads a Compuserve RLE file as input. and produces a PBM image as output. that's it. that's the whole vibe. it takes your RLE situation and hands you back a PBM. slay 💅

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

Okay so, on top of the options that are common to all programs based on libnetpbm (the most iconic one being -quiet, see Common Options), cistopbm also recognizes this one command line option, and it's giving main character:

• -i — Inverse. it reverses the mapping of foreground/background to black/white. that's it, flip it and reverse it 🫶
