If that fails (very few image formats +have magic numbers), \fBanytopnm\fP looks at the filename extension. +If that fails, \fBanytopnm\fP punts. +.PP +The type of the output file depends on the input image. +.PP +\fBanytopnm\fP uses the converters for particular graphics formats +that are in the Netpbm package, so it can't convert any format that +you couldn't convert with some other Netpbm program. What +\fBanytopnm\fP adds is the ability to recognize the format and choose +the appropriate Netpbm program to convert it. For example, if you +invoke \fBanytopnm\fP on a GIF file, \fBanytopnm\fP will recognize +that it is a GIF file and therefore \fBgiftopnm\fP knows how to +convert it to PNM, so \fBanytopnm\fP invokes \fBgiftopnm\fP. +.PP +\fBanytopnm\fP cannot recognize every possible input format, so you +may still be able to convert an image with a specific Netpbm program when +\fBanytopnm\fP fails to convert it. +.PP +If \fBfile\fP indicates that the input file is compressed (either +via Unix compress, gzip, or bzip compression), \fBanytopnm\fP +uncompresses it and proceeds as above with the uncompressed result. +.PP +If \fBfile\fP indicates that the input file is encoded by uuencode +or btoa, \fBanytopnm\fP decodes it and proceeds as above with the +decoded result. +.PP +If \fIfile\fP is \fB-\fP or not given, \fBanytopnm\fP takes its +input from Standard Input. +.PP +Many image formats are capable of representing multiple images. In +most cases, \fBanytopnm\fP converts these to multi-image Netpbm images, +but for some formats, \fBanytopnm\fP converts only the first image and +ignores the rest. +.PP +In the case of a multi-image GIF input, \fBanytopnm\fP converts all the +images starting with Netpbm 10.69 (December 2014), but only the first in +earlier releases. + + +.UN seealso +.SH SEE ALSO +.BR "pamfile" (1)\c +\&, +.BR "pnm" (5)\c +\&, +\fBfile\fP man page + +.UN author +.SH AUTHOR + +Copyright (C) 1991 by Jef Poskanzer. +.SH DOCUMENT SOURCE +This manual page was generated by the Netpbm tool 'makeman' from HTML +source.
