HIPSTOPGM(1)

💖 HIPSTOPGM(1) 💖

okay bestie, so this is the Hipstopgm User Manual, section 1 of the General Commands Manual, and we are about to make your HIPS files ✨main character✨. sit down, grab a strawberry, let's go 🍓

---

✨ NAME ✨

hipstopgm — the little icon that converts a HIPS file into a PGM image 🦋

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

hipstopgm [hipsfile]

like. that's it. that's the whole summoning ritual 💅

---

💫 DESCRIPTION 💫

okay so first thing you need to know: this program is part of Netpbm(1). one of the girls, fr fr 👑

hipstopgm reads a HIPS file as input and produces a PGM image as output. simple. elegant. iconic.

😭 and here's the part that lives in my head rent free: if the HIPS file contains more than one frame in sequence, hipstopgm will concatenate all the frames vertically. vertically!! stacking them like a lil layer cake 🎀 no cap.

and for the lore girlies: HIPS is a format developed at the Human Information Processing Laboratory, NYU. academic baddie energy honestly 🎓✨

👑 OPTIONS 👑

bestie. listen. there are no command line options defined specifically for hipstopgm. none. zero. she simply does not have her own flags 🙈

but — plot twist — she does recognize the options common to all programs based on libnetpbm. (See Common Options.) so she's not antisocial, she's just borrowing the group chat's rules 🫶
