💖 PBMTOIMGV 💖

okay bestie, gather round, because this is pbmtoimgv from the General Commands Manual — it's the Portable Bitmap to Pilot Image Viewer converter, version 2.1, and honestly? it's giving humble little icon. 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

pbmtoimgv — the Portable Bitmap to Pilot Image Viewer converter, version 2.1. yes that's the whole name, she's wordy but she delivers. 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

pbmtoimgv [-h] [-v] [-t title] [-n notefile] [-{c|m|u}] [in [out]]

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so pbmtoimgv is a simple filter that converts Portable Bitmap into monochrome Pilot Image Viewer pdb files. that's it, that's the job, and she does it flawlessly no cap. ✨

now here's the tea on alignment, because this part is lowkey important: if your image's width is not a multiple of 16 pixels, then enough extra white pixels will be added at the right side to make sure everything lines up. 🫶 and if that wasn't enough, images will be padded, with white pixels, to a width and height of 160 if needed. so she's basically tucking your pic in with a lil white blanket. iconic behaviour honestly.

💅 OPTIONS 💅

  • -h — shows you a short summary of the command line options and then dips. exit stage left. 👑
  • -v — displays the version and exits. quick lil flex. ✨
  • -t title — sets the title of the image (up to 31 characters). keep it cute, keep it short, bestie. 🎀
  • -n notefile — specifies the note file. heads up though: no note is attached to the image by default, so if you want a note you gotta say so. 🙈
  • -c — produces a compressed image. squeeze it. 🍓
  • -m — produces a compressed image if it is smaller than the uncompressed version. this is the default compression mode, so she's already doing the smart thing for you. 💜
  • -u — produces an uncompressed image. no shrinkage, full send. 🔥
  • in — the input file. the default is the standard input. 🌈
  • out — the output file. the default is the standard output. ⭐
