pnmtoplainpnm - convert portable any map to plain (ASCII) anymap format
SYNOPSIS
pnmtoplainpnm [pnmfile]
DESCRIPTION
Reads a portable anymap as input, either from the named file or if no file named, from Standard Input. Writes out the image in plain
(ASCII) anymap format to Standard Output. Of the three plain anymap formats, this program generates the one that corresponds naturally to
the one of the three anymap formats that is the input (PBM for PBM, etc.).

anytopnm - attempt to convert an unknown type of image file to a portable anymap
SYNOPSIS
anytopnm [file]
DESCRIPTION
anytopnm 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.
To determine the format of the input, anytopnm uses the file program (possibly assisted by the magic numbers file fragment included with
Netpbm). If that fails (very few image formats have magic numbers), anytopnm looks at the filename extension. If that fails, anytopnm
punts.
The type of the output file depends on the input image.
If file indicates that the input file is compressed (either via Unix compress, gzip, or bzip compression), anytopnm uncompresses it and
proceeds as above with the uncompressed result.
If file indicates that the input file is encoded by uuencode or btoa, anytopnm decodes it and proceeds as above with the decoded result.
If file is - or not given, anytopnm takes its input from Standard Input.

We have quite a few threads about this subject. I have collected some of them and arranged them by the OS which is primarily discussed in the thread. That is because the exact procedure depends on the OS involved. What's more, since you often need to interact with the boot process, the... (0 Replies)
I'm writing a command shell, and I want to be able to detect when the user presses an arrow key (otherwise it just prints [[A, [[B, etc.). I know it's relatively easy (although somewhat more time-consuming) to detect keystrokes in noncanonical mode, but I've noticed that the bash shell detects... (4 Replies)
I'm learning off Linux (Ubuntu) right now. I want to move up to Unix, but I don't want to rush like I did when it came to Windows --> to Linux. What is the best Unix OS that fits in pretty well with Ubuntu.
In other words is there kind of an equal Linux with Unix?
Also what do I need to... (10 Replies)
I noticed my hostname is <my-full-name>s-macbook.local. I'm not sure exactly what information leaves the local network, and whether the hostname is included, but if it is, this would mean people on the Internet can look at my hostname and see who I am. Before anyone says that's not possible,... (4 Replies)
