+.TH "The PNM Format" 5 "27 November 2013" "netpbm documentation"
+
+.SH NAME
+
+pnm - Netpbm superformat
+
+.UN description
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.PP
+The PNM format is just an abstraction of the PBM, PGM, and PPM
+formats. I.e. the name "PNM" refers collectively to
+PBM, PGM, and PPM.
+.PP
+The name "PNM" is an acronym derived from "Portable
+Any Map." This derivation makes more sense if you consider
+it in the context of the other Netpbm format names: PBM, PGM, and PPM.
+.PP
+The more general term "Netpbm format" refers to the PNM
+formats plus PAM.
+.PP
+PNM is principally used with
+.BR "Netpbm" (1)\c
+\&.
+.PP
+Note that besides being names of formats, PBM, PGM, PPM, and PNM
+are also classes of programs. A PNM program can take PBM, PGM, or PPM
+input. That's nothing special -- a PPM program can too. But a PNM
+program can often produce multiple output formats as well, and a PNM
+program can see the difference between PBM, PGM, and PPM input and
+respond to each differently whereas a PPM program sees everything as
+if it were PPM. This is discussed more in
+.BR "the
+description of the netpbm programs" (1)\c
+\&.
+.PP
+"pnm" also appears in the names of the most general
+.BR "Netpbm library routines" (1)\c
+\&, some of which aren't even
+related to the PNM format.
+
+.UN internetmediatype
+.SH INTERNET MEDIA TYPE
+.PP
+No Internet Media Type (aka MIME type, content type) for PNM has been
+registered with the IANA, but the value \f(CWimage/x-portable-anymap\fP
+is conventional.
+.PP
+Note that there are also conventional Internet Media Types for each of the
+PNM subformats. The recommended practice is to use those in preference to the
+PNM code when it is convenient to do so.
+
+.UN filename
+.SH FILE NAME
+.PP
+There are no requirements on the name of a PNM file, but the convention is
+to use the suffix "pbm", "pgm", or "ppm",
+depending on the particular subformat, or "pnm" if it is not
+convenient to distinguish the subformats.
