✨ pnmtotiff — a manual page, but make it cute ✨

okay bestie, real talk: this is the pnmtotiff page from the General Commands Manual section, and it's honestly giving short and sweet 💖. no flags, no drama, just a glow-up notice. let's get into it 🫶

🌸 NAME 🌸

pnmtotiff — bestie... it's been replaced by pamtotiff. that's the whole name section. the girl has moved on 💅

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so first things first: this program is part of Netpbm(1) ✨. it's one of the siblings, you know? part of the family.

now here's the tea 🍓: back in Netpbm 10.30 (October 2005), pnmtotiff got extended and renamed to pamtotiff(1). so the name you're looking at right now? that's the old name, the pre-glow-up era 😭 iconic but retired.

and the best part — the thing that makes this a friendly handoff and not a messy breakup — is that pamtotiff is backward compatible with pnmtotiff. so if you were calling pnmtotiff before, you're not abandoned, you're just... rebranded 👑. no cap.

lowkey important: this is a replacement notice, not a full manual. if you actually wanna know how to use the thing, go read pamtotiff(1) — that's where the main character lives now 💜

🎀 DOCUMENT SOURCE 🎀

ngl this manual page wasn't even handwritten by a human typing away at 3am — it was generated by the Netpbm tool makeman, working from HTML source. so it's a little auto-generated baby 🧚

the master documentation — the original, the source of truth, the moment — lives at:

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

that's where you go if you want the real real, fr fr 🌈

and that's the whole page bestie, we ate and left no crumbs 💅✨ this was netpbm documentation from September 2005 — shoutout to the pnmtotiff(1) era, you served your time and now pamtotiff is carrying the torch 🕯️🫶 bye bye, go read the new one 💖🌸
