       -n NUM Process glyph number NUM.

              Output to FILE instead of stdout.

       -h     Show summary of options.

       -d     Display debugging information.

EXIT STATUS

       gf2pbm  exits  with status 0 if successful, status 1 if the requested glyph did not exist and status 2 if
       there was some other error.
