🌸 wbmp2xpm(1) β€” General Commands Manual 🌸


✨ NAME ✨

wbmp2xpm β€” bestie, it converts WBMP files to 1-bit XPM files πŸ’–


πŸ’… DESCRIPTION πŸ’…

Okay so these are tools for dealing with WBMP files β€” aka WAP bitmaps. Yeah. Those. 🫢

These files are really simple, like no cap, they're giving minimal effort and honestly? iconic. Here's the whole vibe:

  • The first two bytes contain version information (I think πŸ€”) which at the minute is set to 0.
  • The 3rd byte contains the width and the 4th byte the height (I guess this makes WBMP images max 255x255 pixels then πŸ‘€).
  • From the 5th byte onwards they are simply byte-padded binary encoded 1-bit images β€” 1 for white, 0 for black. That's it. That's the whole format. Slay.

wbmp2xpm generates 1-bit XPM files from WBMP files. An example WBMP file is included (logo.wbmp) so you can literally just try it out bestie πŸ¦‹

Coming soon : something useful (i.e. a WBMP creator) 😭 fr fr we're working on it

πŸŽ€ USAGE πŸŽ€

Usage: ./wbmp2xpm <file.wbmp>
