PBMTONOKIA(1)

💖 PBMTONOKIA(1) — the pbmtonokia manual, but make it make sense 💖

okay bestie, so this is the user manual for pbmtonokia, from the General Commands Manual section of the Netpbm fam. pull up a chair, we're learning this together 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

pbmtonokia — convert a PBM image to Nokia Smart Messaging Formats

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

pbmtonokia [ -fmt
  {
    HEX_NOL,
    HEX_NGG,
    HEX_NPM,
    NOL,
    NGG,
    NPM
  } ] [-net networkcode] [-txt text] [pbmfile]

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so this program is literally part of Netpbm(1). like, it's one of the siblings 💅

pbmtonokia reads a PBM image as input and produces a Nokia Smart Messaging (hexcode, .ngg, .nol, .npm) file as output. that's it, that's the whole vibe. image in, Nokia file out, no cap ✨

💅 OPTIONS 💅

okay so on top of the options that are common to all programs based on libnetpbm (most notably -quiet, see Common Options), pbmtonokia also recognizes these command line options right here:

• -fmt — picks the output format. default is HEX_NOL. bestie, choose wisely 🎀

and here's what the -fmt values actually mean:

• HEX_NOL — Nokia Operator Logo as (uploadable) hexcode. use the -net option to specify the network code. 🧚
• HEX_NGG — Nokia Group Graphic as (uploadable) hexcode. 🌈
• HEX_NPM — Nokia Picture Message as (uploadable) hexcode. use the -txt option to specify an optional text message. 💌
• NOL — Nokia Operator Logo as .nol format. this one is editable by the Group-Graphic Editor from Kessler Wireless Design ( www.kessler-design.com ) ✏️
• NGG — Nokia Group Graphic as .ngg format. also editable by the Group-Graphic Editor from Kessler Wireless Design ( www.kessler-design.com ) ✏️
• NPM — Nokia Picture Message as .npm format. editable by the Picture-Message Editor from Kessler Wireless Design ( www.kessler-design.com ) ✏️

this option was new in Netpbm 10.36 (October 2006). ⭐

• -net — specifies the 6 hex-digit operator network code for Operator Logos. default is 62F210 = D1, Germany. 🇩🇪
• -txt — specifies the text message for Picture Messages. the maximum size text message allowed by the format is 120 characters. default is no text message. (yes, silence is a valid aesthetic 🙈)

💀 LIMITATIONS 💀

ngl there are some rules here, and we respect them:

this program currently accepts all PBM images with up to 255 rows or up to 255 columns. (valid Nokia Group Graphics or Operator Logos can be 72 columns by 14 rows and 78 columns by 21 rows; valid Nokia Picture Messages are 72 columns by 28 rows.) this program generates black and white graphics, not animated. so no animated glitter gifs, sorry bestie 😭
