πŸ’… NAME πŸ’…

ppmddumpfont β€” ok bestie, this one literally just dumps a Ppmdfont file. That's it. That's the whole job. πŸ‘‘


✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

ppmddumpfont

no args. no options. she simply vibes.


πŸŽ€ DESCRIPTION πŸŽ€

So ppmddumpfont is part of Netpbm(1) β€” yep, the whole big Netpbm family, she's one of the siblings. 🫢

Here's what she does, bestie: she reads a Ppmdfont file from Standard Input, and then writes a human readable description of that font over to Standard Error. Not stdout, ok?? Stderr. Read it again. Standard Error. The way that detail matters and nobody ever remembers it β€” πŸ’€

(And fr fr, there are no arguments or options. Like none. Zero. It's giving minimalism. Iconic of her honestly.)

Wanna know the actual tea about Ppmdfont files? Go read the Libnetpbm PPM Drawing Function Manual" (1) β€” it's all in there, iykyk. πŸ¦‹

bestie reminder: input comes in on Standard Input, the description comes out on Standard Error. Don't go looking for it on stdout, you will be confused and I will not be responsible. 😭

🧚 DOCUMENT SOURCE 🧚

Fun fact, this manual page wasn't hand-typed by a tired human β€” it was generated by the Netpbm tool makeman from HTML source. Machine-made, still slaying. ✨

And the master documentation, the source of truth, the main character, lives right here:

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

That's the whole page, bestie β€” go dump a font, it's giving productive πŸ’–

Ok so this was the Ppmddumpfont User Manual, coming to you from the General Commands Manual section, written under netpbm documentation, dated September 2005, and yeah β€” you can tell by the timestamp she's been an icon for a minute. Periodt. πŸ‘‘πŸ’…
