PJTOPPM(1)

💖 PJTOPPM 💖 — like, the Pjtoppm User Manual, bestie

okay so this is one of those lil General Commands Manual pages from the Netpbm family, and I'm gonna walk you through it like we're texting at 2am 🦋

✨ NAME ✨

pjtoppm — convert an HP PaintJet file to a PPM image 💅

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

pjtoppm
[paintjet]

yep that's the whole vibe, no drama, no extra flags, just vibes ✨

---

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

So first things first: this program is part of Netpbm(1). Family reunion energy 👑

pjtoppm reads an HP PaintJet file as input and converts it into a PPM image. That's the whole job, and she does it 🫶

ngl, this one was a quick hack to save some trees — that's literally what the docs say, I'm not making it up 🌸 — and it only handles a small subset of the paintjet commands. So like, don't come for her with your wildest PaintJet file, okay? She's doing her best 😭

In particular: it will only handle enough commands to convert most raster image files. That's the limit. That's the assignment. She ate what she could and left the rest on the plate 💀

✨ OPTIONS ✨

common options era

• there are no command line options defined specifically for pjtoppm 🙈 — she's a simple girl
