PGMNORM(1)

💖 PGMNORM 💖

okay bestie, so this is the Pgmnorm User Manual, like a lil page from the General Commands Manual family. it's short, it's sweet, and honestly? it's giving "I left and my hotter sibling took over" 💅

✨ NAME ✨

pgmnorm — replaced by pnmnorm 🫶

---

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so, real talk: this program is part of Netpbm(1). that's the whole vibe.

pgmnorm was replaced back in Netpbm 9.25 (March 2002) by pnmnorm(1). like, it's gone gone. the torch has been passed. 🔥

and here's the tea, bestie: pnmnorm is backward compatible with pgmnorm, so everything you used to do still works. BUT — and this is the glow-up — it also handles PPM images. so it does literally everything the old one did and more. main character energy fr fr 👑
