okay bestie, gather round, because this one's a lil niche but honestly kind of iconic ✨ it's the pgmtosbig user manual, and yes, it lives in the General Commands Manual section, and yes, you're gonna understand it in like 30 seconds. periodt. 💅

🌸 NAME 🌸

pgmtosbig — convert PGM image to SBIG format 🦋

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

pgmtosbig

[pgmfile]

---

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

So this program? It's part of Netpbm(1). Like, whole family, one vibe. 🌈

pgmtosbig takes a PGM image as input and spits out a Santa Barbara Instrument Group SBIG Type 3 image as output. slay.

heads up though — this format is NOT the same as the SBIG ST-4 format. they are different formats. do not confuse them. i'm so serious. 😭

here's the tea on what you're getting:

• The image is uncompressed 💀 (no zip, no squeeze, just raw vibes)
• The image says it is from a "ST-6" camera 👑 (that's the header's little claim to fame)
• The image header has these lines:
  • camera type
  • height
  • width
  • saturation level

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

ngl there are no command line options defined specifically for pgmtosbig. like, zero. none. it's a minimalist. ✨

But it does recognize the options common to all programs based on libnetpbm. (See Common Options.) so you still have options, bestie, just... the shared ones. 🫶

🌟 HISTORY 🌟

pgmtosbig was new in Netpbm 10.70, and it was intended primarily as a test tool for sbigtopgm. so like, it's the hype-woman for its sibling. we love a supportive icon. 💖
