💖 PNMCUT 💖

okay bestie, so this is the manual page for pnmcut, from the Pnmcut User Manual (that's section 1, general commands, iykyk). buckle up because this one's a short ride — she's got main character energy but she's, like, retired 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

pnmcut — replaced by pamcut 🪦✨

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so true story: this program is part of Netpbm(1). the whole family, one big vibe. 🫶

pnmcut was obsoleted by pamcut(1), which showed up with Netpbm 9.20 (May 2001). and like, not to be dramatic, but pamcut is backward compatible with pnmcut plus adds many additional functions, including the ability to process PAM images. it's giving glow-up. it's giving upgrade. 💅

so why did pnmcut stick around?? it remained in the Netpbm package until Netpbm 10.46 (March 2009) — literally eight whole years — because of hopes that it had fewer bugs than pamcut because of its age. like, grandma's recipe energy, "the old one just works." 🙈 but bestie… now it would just be clutter. 💀 so out she went.

⚠️ heads up: in Netpbm before 9.20, use the manual for pamcut with pnmcut. any features that are in pamcut but not in pnmcut are marked with statements saying they didn't exist before 9.20. so keep an eye out, okay? don't get caught slippin. 👑

🦋 DOCUMENT SOURCE 🦋

this manual page was generated by the Netpbm tool makeman from HTML source. the master documentation is, like, right here bestie:

http://netpbm.sourceforge.net/doc/pnmcut.html

and that's the whole page, no cap. 🎀✨ documented by the netpbm documentation girlies, dated 02 February 2009, filed under Pnmcut User Manual(1). slay, stay hydrated, and go use pamcut instead 💖🦋🌸
