✨ ppmtoinfo ✨

okay bestie, gather round, because today we're talking about ppmtoinfo — a lil General Commands Manual girlie who does exactly one thing and does it cute. 💖

🎀 NAME 🎀

ppmtoinfo — convert a portable pixmap into an Amiga .info file

like. that's it. that's the whole job. and she ate. 💅

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

ppmtoinfo [-type icontype] [-floyd|-fs] [-map mapfile] [ppmfile]
[ppmfile]

okay so yes, [ppmfile] is literally in there twice. that's not me being messy, that's the actual page, i'm just the messenger 🫶

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

This manpage documents ppmtoinfo briefly. and when i say briefly i mean briefly, bestie, this is a short one. This manual page was written for the Debian GNU/Linux distribution because the original program does not have a manual page. so basically the Debian girlies said "fine, we'll do it ourselves" and here we are. 💪

ppmtoinfo is a program that converts portable pixmap (.ppm) files into the Amiga info format which is used to store icons as. ✨

ngl the original sentence just kinda ends at "as" and i'm not gonna invent an ending for it, that's not my business, i just work here 🙈

💖 OPTIONS 💖

  • -type icontype — set the type of the icon. yes. that's the whole description. go look at ICON TYPES below for the actual list, she's down there serving. 👑
  • -floyd, -fs — Enable Floyd-Steinberg. two flags, one vibe, same energy fr fr.
  • -map mapfile — Use the map file mapfile. short, sweet, mapped.

🧚 ICON TYPES 🧚

The -type option lets you set the type of the icon you creat. (typo is the original's, i'm not touching it, it's part of the heritage now 🕯️) The parameter can be any of:

  • appicon — A normal application
  • device — A device
  • disk — A disk
  • drawer — A drawer (directory)
  • garbage — A garbage can
  • kick — A kickstart?
  • project — A project?
  • tool — A toolbox?
notice how the last three are questions?? the original author was out here like "kickstart? project? toolbox? idk bestie 🤷" and honestly that's so real of them. i'm keeping every single question mark exactly where it was. no cap. 💀

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

that's the one. that's the whole list. she's the only sibling. 🫶
