PC1TOPPM(1)
β¨ PC1TOPPM(1) β the Atari glow-up manual β¨
okay bestie, pull up a chair π«Ά this is the pc1toppm user manual, straight from the General Commands Manual section of your friendly neighbourhood man pages. it's short, it's sweet, and it turns ancient Atari art into something modern tools can actually look at. let's go π
πΈ NAME πΈ
pc1toppm β convert an Atari Degas .pc1 into a PPM image β¨
π SYNOPSIS π
pc1toppm
[pc1file]
that's literally it. no flags, no drama, just vibes π
π¦ DESCRIPTION π¦
okay so. this program is part of Netpbm(1) π (yes, the Netpbm, the icon, the moment).
pc1toppm reads an Atari Degas .pc1 file as input and produces a PPM image as output. that's the whole job. it eats .pc1, it serves PPM, no cap π₯
and the tea on the format: .pc1 is a compressed (run length encoded) variation on .pi1. so it's the β¨glow-up editionβ¨ of pi1 β same energy, smaller footprint, still giving Atari πΉοΈ
π OPTIONS π
okay so here's the thing. there are no command line options defined specifically for pc1toppm π
but!! it still recognizes the options common to all programs based on libnetpbm β you know, the shared wardrobe every libnetpbm girl borrows from. (See Common Options.) π
lowkey important: just because this tool doesn't define its own options doesn't mean it takes zero options. the common libnetpbm ones still apply, iykyk π
π HISTORY π
pc1toppm was new in Netpbm 10.22 (April 2004) π
so yes, she's vintage. she's been serving .pc1 conversions since 2004 and she has not missed a day since. main character energy fr fr π
