NAME

   pgmtopgm - copy PGM image

SYNOPSIS

   pgmtopgm

DESCRIPTION

   This program is part of Netpbm.

   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, pbm-
topgm is a more
   general way to do that conversion.
