PNMCOMP(1)

✨ NAME ✨

okay so this is the Pnmcomp User Manual(1), straight out of the General Commands Manual section, bestie — and the name part is short and iconic:

• pnmcomp — replaced by pamcomp. that's the whole vibe. 💅

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

First thing first: this program is part of Netpbm(1). periodt. ✨

pnmcomp was obsoleted by pamcomp(1), which was introduced with Netpbm 10.21 (March 2004). and pamcomp is backward compatible with pnmcomp, plus it adds many additional functions. among those extra slays is the ability to process PAM images, including those with transparency channels. 👑

pnmcomp stayed in the Netpbm package until Netpbm 10.68 (September 2014) because of hopes that it had fewer bugs than pamcomp because of its age. but now it would just be clutter. 💀 no cap, just clutter.

In Netpbm before 10.21, use the manual for pamcomp with pnmcomp. Features that are in pamcomp but not pnmcomp are indicated by statements that they didn't exist before 10.21. iykyk. 🧚
