But \fBpamfix\fP has other options to repair other +kinds of corruption. +.PP +Another change that came with Netpbm 10.66 is that an invalid sample value +(a value greater than the maxval the image declares in its header) is +considered by the common Netpbm image reading facility (in libnetpbm) to be +unreadable, which means the file is essentially truncated. In older Netpbm, +the invalid sample value propagates to the output in a program such as +\fBpamfixtrunc\fP. Thus, in older Netpbm a file with 100 rows and an invalid +sample value in the 3rd row would pass through \fBpamfixtrunc\fP unchanged. +But in Netpbm 10.66, \fBpamfix -truncate\fP with the same input would produce +an output image with only 2 rows. While it is not possible in 10.66 to +cause \fBpamfix\fP to generate an invalid Netpbm image, you can +use \fB-clip\fP and \fB-changemaxval\fP options to avoid truncating the +file in a case like this. +.PP +You should not make any new use of \fBpamfixtrunc\fP and if you modify an +existing use, you should upgrade to \fBpamfixtrunc\fP. But note that if you +write a program that might have to be used with very old +Netpbm, \fBpamfixtrunc\fP is the only way to do that. +.SH DOCUMENT SOURCE +This manual page was generated by the Netpbm tool 'makeman' from HTML +source.
