<H2>DESCRIPTION</H2>
|
|
|
|
<B>anytopnm</B>
|
|
|
|
converts the input image, which may be in any of dozens of graphics
|
|
formats, to PBM, PGM, or PPM format, depending on that nature of the
|
|
input image, and outputs it to Standard Output.
|
|
<P>
|
|
To determine the format of the input,
|
|
<B>anytopnm</B>
|
|
|
|
uses the
|
|
<B>file</B>
|
|
|
|
program (possibly assisted by the magic numbers file fragment included
|
|
with Netpbm).
|
|
If that fails (very few image formats have magic numbers),
|
|
<B>anytopnm</B>
|
|
|
|
looks at the filename extension.
|
|
If that fails,
|
|
<B>anytopnm</B>
|
|
|
|
punts.
|
|
<P>
|
|
|
|
The type of the output file depends on the input image.
|
|
<P>
|
|
If
|
|
<B>file</B>
|
|
|
|
indicates that the input file is compressed (either via Unix compress,
|
|
gzip, or bzip compression),
|
|
<B>anytopnm</B>
|
|
|
|
uncompresses it and proceeds as above with the uncompressed result.
|
|
<P>
|
|
If
|
|
<B>file</B>
|
|
|
|
indicates that the input file is encoded by uuencode or btoa,
|
|
<B>anytopnm</B>
|
|
|
|
decodes it and proceeds as above with the decoded result.
|
|
<P>
|
|
If
|
|
<I>file</I>
|
|
|
|
is
|
|
<B>-</B>
|
|
|
|
or not given,
|
|
<B>anytopnm</B>
|
|
|
|
takes its input from Standard Input.
