+.SH NAME

+
+.UN synopsis
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+
+\fBpamtopam\fP
+
+.UN description
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.PP
+This program is part of
+.BR "Netpbm" (1)\c
+\&.
+.PP
+\fBpamtopam\fP simply copies a PAM image from Standard Input to
+Standard Output. This may seem an unnecessary duplication of
+\fBcat\fP, but remember that a PAM program can read a PBM, PGM, or PPM
+image as if it were PAM. So \fBpamtopam\fP can read either a PBM, PGM,
+PPM, or PAM image and produce a PAM image as output.
+.PP
+Even that is of limited usefulness because of the fact that almost
+any program to which you would feed the resulting PAM image could also
+just take the original image directly. However, sometimes you really
+want a true PAM image.
+.PP
+You can do a more general job of translating PAM/PNM to PAM with
+\fBpamchannel\fP.
