SYNOPSIS
pnmtoplainpnm [file]
DESCRIPTION
pnmtoplainpnm reads a PNM image as input and writes an equivalent image in plain (ASCII) PNM format. Plain format is human-readable but significantly larger than the binary (raw) format. Part of the Netpbm toolkit.pnmtoplainpnm was obsoleted in Netpbm 10.23 (July 2004) by pamtopnm. It is retained for backward compatibility; all it does is invoke `pamtopnm -plain`. The preferred modern approach is to use the -plain common option on any Netpbm program.
