+.UN description
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.PP
+This program is part of
+.BR "Netpbm" (1)\c
+\&.
+.PP
+\fBpgmhist\fP reads a PGM image as input and prints a histogram of the
+gray values or other gray value distribution metrics.
+.PP
+If you specify none of \fB-median\fP, \fB-quartile\fP, or \fB-decile\fP,
+\fBpgmhist\fP prints a complete histogram showing how many pixels of each
+possible gray value exist in the image. Along with each gray value, it tells
+you how many pixels are at lest as black as it and how many are at least as
+white.
+.PP
+\fB-median\fP, \fB-quartile\fP, and \fB-decile\fP options cause
+\fBpgmhist\fP instead to print the indicated quantiles. Each quantile is a
+gray value that actually appears in the image (as opposed to fractional values
+that are sometimes used for quantiles). The 3rd quartile is the least gray
+value for which at least 75% of the pixels are as dark or darker than it.
+The 4th quartile is the brightest gray value that appears in the image.
+
+
+.UN options
+.SH OPTIONS
+.PP
+In addition to the options common to all programs based on libnetpbm
+(most notably \fB-quiet\fP, see
+.UR index.html#commonoptions
+ Common Options
+.UE
+\&), \fBpgmhist\fP recognizes the following
+command line options:
+.PP
+You may specify at most one of \fB-median\fP, \fB-quartile\fP, and
+\fB-decile\fP. If none of these is specified \fBpgmhist\fP prints
+a histogram of gray values.
+
+
+.TP
+\fB-median\fP
+.sp
+This option causes \fBpgmhist\fP to print the median gray value.
+.sp
+This option was new in Netpbm 10.61 (December 2012).
+
+.TP
+\fB-quartile\fP
+.sp
+This option causes \fBpgmhist\fP to print the four quartile gray values.
+.sp
+This option was new in Netpbm 10.61 (December 2012).
+
+.TP
+\fB-decile\fP
+.sp
+This option causes \fBpgmhist\fP to print the ten decile gray values.
+.sp
+This option was new in Netpbm 10.61 (December 2012).
+
+.TP
+\fB-forensic\fP
+.sp
+With this option, \fBpgmhist\fP works on images that contain invalid gray
+values. Normally, like most Netpbm programs, \fBpgmhist\fP fails if it
+encounters a gray value greater than the maxval that the image declares. The
+presence of such a value means the image is invalid, so the pixels have no
+meaning. But with \fB-forensic\fP, \fBpgmhist\fP produces a histogram
+of the actual gray values without regard to maxval. It issues messages
+summarizing the invalid pixels if there are any.
+.sp
+One use for this is to diagnose the problem that caused the invalid Netpbm
+image to exist.
+.sp
+There is a small exception to the ability of \fBpgmhist\fP to process
+invalid pixels even with \fB-forensic\fP: it can never process a gray value
+greater than 65535. Note that in the rarely used Plain PGM format, it is
+possible for a number greater than that to appear where a gray value belongs.
+.sp
+This option was new in Netpbm 10.66 (March 2014). But Netpbm older than
+10.66 does not properly reject invalid sample values, so the effect is very
+similar to \fB-forensic\fP.
+
+.TP
+\fB-machine\fP
+.sp
+This option causes \fBpgmhist\fP to print the information in a way
+easily digestible by a machine as opposed to a human.
+.sp
+For the quantiles, there is one line per quantile, in quantile order, and
+it consists of the gray value of the quantile in decimal with no leading
+zeroes.
+.sp
+For the full histogram output, it consists of one line per possible
+gray value (whether that value appears in the image or not), in order of
+the gray values. The line consists of two tokens separated by a space. The
+first is the gray value; the second is the number of pixels in the image that
+have that gray value. Both are decimal numbers without leading zeroes.
+.sp
+This option was new in Netpbm 10.61 (December 2012).
