PPMTOJPEG(1)

✨ NAME ✨

ppmtojpeg — bestie, it's replaced by pnmtojpeg 💀

No fr, that's literally the whole story. She's retired, she's iconic, she's a legacy queen. 🎀

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

Okay so first things first: this program is part of Netpbm(1). 🫶

Here's the tea, and I need you to sit down for it: ppmtojpeg was replaced in Netpbm 9.19 (September 2001) by pnmtojpeg(1). Yeah. Your girl got her main-character arc ended way back in 2001. Not me mourning a manpage from before I was born 😭

But wait — it's not a glow-down, it's a glow-up, because pnmtojpeg is backward compatible with ppmtojpeg. Same energy, same vibes, everything you loved still hits. ✨

⚠️ Lowkey important exception though, no cap: with PGM or PBM input, it generates JPEG output in the special grayscale format. So if you're feeding it those, that's the one place it's not behaving like the original. Please don't come for me, that's just what the page says. 🙈

🎀 DOCUMENT SOURCE 🎀

This manual page was generated by the Netpbm tool makeman from HTML source. (Yes ma'am, auto-generated, she didn't have to lift a finger 💅)

The master documentation is at:

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

Like, the actual source of truth? Right there. Go read it, it's giving literate. 📖💖

And that's the whole page, bestie — short and sweet, kinda like a text you send at 2am that just says "we need to talk" but it's about a deprecated image converter. 🦋

Sign-off time: this gorgeous little artifact comes to you from the netpbm documentation, dated September 2001, and it lives in the Ppmtojpeg User Manual(1) era of the world. Historic. Museum-worthy. Slay. 👑🌈

periodt. 💜
