anytopnm(1)               UNIX System V(27 July 1990)               anytopnm(1)


NAME
      anytopnm - attempt to convert an unknown type of image file to a portable
      anymap

SYNOPSIS
      anytopnm file

DESCRIPTION
      Uses the file program, possibly augmented by the magic numbers file
      included with PBMPLUS, to try to figure out what type of image file it
      is.  If that fails (very few image formats have magic numbers), looks at
      the filename extension.  If that fails, punts.

      The type of the output file depends on the input file.

SEE ALSO
      pnmfile(1), pnm(5), file(1)

BUGS
      It's a script.  Scripts are not portable to non-Unix environments.
