ICONTOPBM(1)

💖 NAME 💖

icontopbm — bestie, she's been replaced by sunicontopnm 😭✨

okay so real quick, welcome to the Icontopbm User Manual, straight out of your General Commands Manual section 🎀 she's a little old, she's a little retired, but we still love her 💅

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

icontopbm [iconfile]

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

So. This program is part of Netpbm(1) 🫶

icontopbm got obsoleted by sunicontopnm(1), which showed up with Netpbm 10.53 (December 2010). Not me crying over a deprecation 🥲 sunicontopnm is backward compatible with icontopbm, plus it adds extra functions, including the ability to convert a Depth=8 Sun icon, producing a PGM image. So like… more slay, same energy ✨

Starting in Release 10.53, icontopbm is just an alias for sunicontopnm. That's it. That's the whole job now. She's not gone, she's just ✨rebranded✨

The point of the name change? The way that there are SO many kinds of icons in the world besides Sun icons 👑 and in 2010, the Sun variety wasn't even common anymore. Icon diversity rights, honestly 🌈

Heads up for the old-release girlies 🙈: in releases before 10.53, you can totally use the sunicontopnm documentation for icontopbm, as long as you recognize that any change the sunicontopnm manual says happened in or after Netpbm 10.53 doesn't apply to icontopbm. No cap. Don't let the docs gaslight you 💀
