<h2>NAME</h2>
pamtopam - copy PAM image
<h2 id="synopsis">SYNOPSIS</h2>
<b>pamtopam</b>
<h2 id="description">DESCRIPTION</h2>
<p>This program is part of <a href="index.html">Netpbm</a>.
<p><b>pamtopam</b> simply copies a PAM image from Standard Input to
Standard Output. This may seem an unnecessary duplication of
<b>cat</b>, but remember that a PAM program can read a PBM, PGM, or PPM
image as if it were PAM. So <b>pamtopam</b> can read either a PBM, PGM,
PPM, or PAM image and produce a PAM image as output.
<p>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.
<p>You can do a more general job of translating PAM/PNM to PAM with
<b>pamchannel</b>.
<h2 id="options">OPTIONS</h2>
<p>There are no command line options defined specifically
for <b>pamtopam</b>, but it recognizes the options common to all
programs based on libnetpbm (See <a href="index.html#commonoptions">
Common Options</a>.)
