🎀 Pbmtopsg3 User Manual(1) 🎀

okay so bestie, you just opened the Pbmtopsg3 User Manual(1) from the General Commands Manual section of the Netpbm-verse. It's giving fax-girl realness ✨. Let's get into it, no cap. 💅

✨ NAME ✨

pbmtopsg3 — convert PBM images to Postscript with G3 fax compression. Periodt. 💖

📜 SYNOPSIS 📜

pbmtopsg3 [--title=title] [--dpi=dpi] [filespec]

🛠️ DESCRIPTION 🛠️

This program is part of Netpbm(1). Iconic.

pbmtopsg3 converts the PBM images in the input PBM file to pages in a Postscript file encoded with G3 fax compression. That's the main character energy right there. 🔥

pnmtops is a more general program for converting from the Netpbm formats to Postscript, though it cannot produce the particular subformat that pbmtopsg3 does. So like, pnmtops is versatile but it's not doing this exact G3 thing, iykyk.

If you don't specify filespec, the input is from Standard Input. Mmkay? 🫶

Remember that you can create a multi-image PBM file simply by concatenating single-image PBM files, so if each page is in a different file, you might do:

cat faxpage* | pbmtopsg3 >fax.ps

Ate. 🍓
