+.UN description
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.PP
+This program is part of
+.BR "Netpbm" (1)\c
+\&.
+.PP
+\fBpamfunc\fP reads a Netpbm image as input and produces a Netpbm
+image as output, with the same format, and dimensions as the
+input. \fBpamfunc\fP applies a simple transfer function to each
+sample in the input to generate the corresponding sample in the
+output. The options determine what function.
+.PP
+\fBpamarith\fP is the same thing for binary functions -- it takes
+two images as input and applies a specified simple arithmetic function
+(e.g. addition) on pairs of samples from the two to produce the single
+output image.
+
+
+.UN values
+.SS Values
+.PP
+The functions fall into two categories: arithmetic (such as multiply by 5)
+and bit string (such as and with 01001000). For the arithmetic functions, the
+function arguments and results are the fraction that a sample is of the
+maxval, i.e. normal interpretation of PAM tuples. But for the bit string
+functions, the value is the the bit string whose value as a binary cipher is
+the sample value, and the maxval indicates the width of the bit string.
+
+.B Arithmetic functions
+.PP
+The arithmetic functions are those selected by the options
+\fB-multiplier\fP, \fB-divisor\fP, \fB-adder\fP, \fB-subtractor\fP,
+\fB-min\fP, and \fB-max\fP.
+.PP
+As an example, consider an image with maxval 100 and a sample value of 10
+and a function of "multiply by 5." The argument to the function is
+10/100 (0.1) and the result is 5 * 0.1 = 0.5. In the simplest case, the
+maxval of the output is also 100, so the output sample value is 0.5 * 100 =
+50. As you can see, we could just talk about the sample values themselves
+instead of these fractions and get the same result (10 * 5 = 50), but we
+don't.
+.PP
+Where it makes a practical difference whether we consider the values to be
+the fraction of the maxval or the sample value alone is where \fBpamfunc\fP
+uses a different maxval in the output image than it finds in the input
+image. See \fB-changemaxval\fP.
+.PP
+So remember in reading the descriptions below that the values are 0.1 and
+0.5 in this example, not 10 and 50. All arguments and results are in the
+range [0,1].
+
+.B Bit string functions
+.PP
+The bit string functions are those selected by the options
+\fB-andmask\fP, \fB-ormask\fP, \fB-xormask\fP, \fB-not\fP,
+\fB-shiftleft\fP, and \fB-shiftright\fP.
+.PP
+With these functions, the maxval has a very different meaning than in
+normal Netpbm images: it tells how wide (how many bits) the bit string is.
+The maxval must be a full binary count (a power of two minus one, such as
+0xff) and the number of ones in it is the width of the bit string.
+.PP
+As an example, consider an image with maxval 15 and a sample value of 5
+and a function of "and with 0100". The argument to the function is
+0101 and the result is 0100.
+.PP
+In this example, it doesn't make any practical difference what we consider
+the width of the string to be, as long as it is at least 3. If the maxval
+were 255, the result would be the same. But with a bit shift operation,
+it matters. Consider shifting left by 2 bits. In the example, where
+the input value is 0101, the result is 0100. But if the maxval were 255,
+the result would be 00010100.
+.PP
+For a masking function, the mask value you specify must not have
+more significant bits than the width indicated by the maxval.
+.PP
+For a shifting operation, the shift count you specify must not be
+greater than the width indicated by the maxval.

+.UN options
+.SH OPTIONS
+
+
+.TP
+\fB-multiplier=\fIrealnum\fP\fP
+.sp
+This option makes the transfer function that of multiplying by
+ \fIrealnum\fP. \fIrealnum\fP must be nonnegative. If the result
+ is greater than one, it is clipped to one.
+.sp
+Where the input is a PGM or PPM image, this has the effect of
+ dimming or brightening it. For a different kind of brightening,
+ see
+.BR "\fBppmbrighten\fP" (1)\c
+\& and
+.BR "\fBppmflash\fP" (1)\c
+\&
+.sp
+Also, see
+.BR "\fBppmdim\fP" (1)\c
+\&, which does the same
+ thing as \fBpamfunc -multiplier\fP on a PPM image with a multiplier
+ between zero and one, except it uses integer arithmetic, so it may be
+ faster.
+.sp
+And
+.BR "\fBppmfade\fP" (1)\c
+\& can generate a whole
+ sequence of images of brightness declining to black or increasing to
+ white, if that's what you want.
+
+.TP
+\fB-divisor=\fIrealnum\fP\fP
+.sp
+This option makes the transfer function that of dividing by
+ \fIrealnum\fP. \fIrealnum\fP must be nonnegative. If the result
+ is greater than one, it is clipped to one.
+.sp
+This is the same function as you would get with \fB-multiplier\fP,
+ specifying the multiplicative inverse of \fIrealnum\fP.
+
+.TP
+\fB-adder=\fIinteger\fP\fP
+.sp
+This option makes the transfer function that of adding
+ \fIinteger\fP/\fImaxval\fP. If the result is greater than one, it is
+ clipped to one. If it is less than zero, it is clipped to zero.
+.sp
+Note that in mathematics, this entity is called an "addend,"
+ and an "adder" is a snake. We use "adder" because
+ it makes more sense.
+
+.TP
+\fB-subtractor=\fIinteger\fP\fP
+.sp
+This option makes the transfer function that of subtracting
+ \fIinteger\fP/\fImaxval\fP. If the result is greater than one, it is
+ clipped to one. If it is less than zero, it is clipped to zero.
+.sp
+Note that in mathematics, this entity is called a
+ "subtrahend" rather than a "subtractor." We use
+ "subtractor" because it makes more sense.
+.sp
+This is the same function as you would get with \fB-adder\fP,
+ specifying the negative of \fIinteger\fP.
+
+.TP
+\fB-min=\fIwholenum\fP\fP
+.sp
+This option makes the transfer function that of taking the maximum of
+ the argument and \fIwholenum\fP/\fImaxval\fP. I.e the minimum value in
+ the output will be \fIwholenum\fP/\fImaxval\fP.
+
+ If \fIwholenum\fP/\fImaxval\fP is greater than one, though, every value
+ in the output will be one.
+
+.TP
+\fB-max=\fIwholenum\fP\fP
+.sp
+This option makes the transfer function that of taking the minimum of
+ the argument and \fIwholenum\fP/\fImaxval\fP. I.e the maximum value in
+ the output will be \fIwholenum\fP/\fImaxval\fP.
+
+ If \fIwholenum\fP/\fImaxval\fP is greater than one, the function is
+ idempotent -- the output is identical to the input.
+
+.TP
+\fB-andmask=\fIhexmask\fP\fP
+.sp
+This option makes the transfer function that of bitwise anding
+ with \fIhexmask\fP.
+.sp
+\fIhexmask\fP is in hexadecimal. Example: \f(CW0f\fP
+.sp
+This option was new in Netpbm 10.40 (September 2007).
+
+.TP
+\fB-ormask=\fIhexmask\fP\fP
+.sp
+This option makes the transfer function that of bitwise
+ inclusive oring with \fIhexmask\fP.
+.sp
+This is analogous to \fB-andmask\fP.
+.sp
+This option was new in Netpbm 10.40 (September 2007).
+
+.TP
+\fB-xormask=\fIhexmask\fP\fP
+.sp
+This option makes the transfer function that of bitwise
+ exclusive oring with \fIhexmask\fP.
+.sp
+This is analogous to \fB-andmask\fP.
+.sp
+This option was new in Netpbm 10.40 (September 2007).
+
+.TP
+\fB-not\fP
+.sp
+This option makes the transfer function that of bitwise logical
+ inversion (e.g. sample value 0xAA becomes 0x55).
+.sp
+\fBpnminvert\fP does the same thing for a bilevel visual image
+ which has maxval 1 or is of PBM type.
+.sp
+This option was new in Netpbm 10.40 (September 2007).
+
+.TP
+\fB-shiftleft=\fIcount\fP\fP
+.sp
+This option makes the transfer function that of bitwise shifting
+ left by \fIcount\fP bits.
+.sp
+This option was new in Netpbm 10.40 (September 2007).
+
+.TP
+\fB-shiftright=\fIcount\fP\fP
+.sp
+This option makes the transfer function that of bitwise shifting
+ right by \fIcount\fP bits.
+.sp
+This is analogous to \fB-shiftleft\fP.
+.sp
+This option was new in Netpbm 10.40 (September 2007).
+
+.TP
+\fB-changemaxval\fP
+.sp
+This option tells \fBpamfunc\fP to use a different maxval in the output
+image than the maxval of the input image, if it helps. By default, the maxval
+of the output is unchanged from the input and \fBpamfunc\fP modifies the
+sample values as necessary to perform the operation.
+.sp
+But there is one case where \fBpamfunc\fP can achieve the same result just
+by changing the maxval and leaving the sample values unchanged: dividing by a
+number 1 or greater, or multiplying by a number 1 or less. For example, to
+halve all of the values, \fBpamfunc\fP can just double the maxval.
+.sp
+With \fB-changemaxval\fP, \fBpamfunc\fP will do just that.
+.sp
+As the Netpbm formats have a maximum maxval of 65535, for large divisors,
+\fBpamfunc\fP may not be able to use this method.
+.sp
+An advantage of dividing by changing the maxval is that you don't lose
+precision. The higher maxval means higher precision. For example, consider
+an image with a maxval of 100 and sample value of 10. You divide by 21 and
+then multiply by 21 again. If \fBpamfunc\fP does this by changing the sample
+values while retaining maxval 100, the division will result in a sample value
+of 0 and the multiplication will also result in zero. But if \fBpamfunc\fP
+instead keeps the sample value 10 and changes the maxval, the division will
+result in a maxval of 2100 and the multiplication will change it back to 100,
+and the round trip is idempotent.
+.sp
+This option was new in Netpbm 10.65 (December 2013).
