NAME

       pgmtopgm - copy PGM image

SYNOPSIS

       pgmtopgm

DESCRIPTION

       This program is part of Netpbm(1).

       pgmtopgm  simply copies a PGM image from Standard Input to Standard Output.  This may seem an unnecessary
       duplication of cat, but remember that a PGM program can read a PBM image as if it were PGM.  So  pgmtopgm
       can read either a PBM or PGM image and produce a PGM image as output.

       Even  that  is  of limited usefulness because of the fact that almost any program to which you would feed
       the resulting PGM image could also just take the original image directly.  However, sometimes you  really
       need a true PGM image.

       When  you  know  you  have  a  PBM  image and want a PGM image, pbmtopgm is a more general way to do that
       conversion.
