PNMTOSGI(1)

✨ pnmtosgi — the Netpbm manual 💅

okay so bestie, welcome to the pnmtosgi page from the Netpbm documentation (that's a General Commands Manual, and she lives in section 1 if you were wondering) 🌸

---

🌈 NAME 🌈

pnmtosgi — literally converts a PNM image into an SGI image file, no cap ✨

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

pnmtosgi

[-verbatim|-rle]

[-imagename Name]

[pnmfile]

---

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

This girl is part of Netpbm(1), obviously. Main character behavior 🎀

pnmtosgi reads a PNM image as input and produces an SGI image file as output. The SGI image it makes is 2-dimensional (1 channel) for PBM and PGM input, and 3-dimensional (3 channels) for PPM. So the dimensions just kind of vibe-match whatever you fed her, periodt 🌟

👑 OPTIONS 👑

On top of the options shared by all programs based on libnetpbm (most notably -quiet, see Common Options), pnmtosgi recognizes these command line options:

• -verbatim — writes an uncompressed file. Just raw, no squeeze, she's au naturel 🍓
• -rle — writes a compressed (run length encoded) file. This one is the default, iykyk 💅
• -imagename name — writes the string name into the imagename field of the header. That name string is capped at 79 characters, so keep it cute and short bestie 😭. If you don't give a name, pnmtosgi writes "no name" into that field instead. iconic of her honestly 💀
