I.e. the name "PNM" refers collectively to +PBM, PGM, and PPM. +.PP +The name "PNM" is an acronym derived from "Portable +Any Map." This derivation makes more sense if you consider +it in the context of the other Netpbm format names: PBM, PGM, and PPM. +.PP +The more general term "Netpbm format" refers to the PNM +formats plus PAM. +.PP +PNM is principally used with +.BR "Netpbm" (1)\c +\&. +.PP +Note that besides being names of formats, PBM, PGM, PPM, and PNM +are also classes of programs. A PNM program can take PBM, PGM, or PPM +input. That's nothing special -- a PPM program can too. But a PNM +program can often produce multiple output formats as well, and a PNM +program can see the difference between PBM, PGM, and PPM input and +respond to each differently whereas a PPM program sees everything as +if it were PPM. This is discussed more in +.BR "the +description of the netpbm programs" (1)\c +\&. +.PP +"pnm" also appears in the names of the most general +.BR "Netpbm library routines" (1)\c +\&, some of which aren't even +related to the PNM format. + +.UN internetmediatype +.SH INTERNET MEDIA TYPE +.PP +No Internet Media Type (aka MIME type, content type) for PNM has been +registered with the IANA, but the value \f(CWimage/x-portable-anymap\fP +is conventional. +.PP +Note that there are also conventional Internet Media Types for each of the +PNM subformats. The recommended practice is to use those in preference to the +PNM code when it is convenient to do so. + +.UN filename +.SH FILE NAME +.PP +There are no requirements on the name of a PNM file, but the convention is +to use the suffix "pbm", "pgm", or "ppm", +depending on the particular subformat, or "pnm" if it is not +convenient to distinguish the subformats. + + +.UN seealso +.SH SEE ALSO +.BR "ppm" (1)\c +\&, +.BR "pgm" (1)\c +\&, +.BR "pbm" (1)\c +\&, +.BR "pam" (1)\c +\&, +.BR "programs that process PNM" (1)\c +\&, +.BR "libnetpbm" (1)\c +\& +.SH DOCUMENT SOURCE +This manual page was generated by the Netpbm tool 'makeman' from HTML +source.
