NAME

       pamfile - describe a Netpbm (PAM or PNM) file

SYNOPSIS

       pamfile [-allimages] [file ...]

DESCRIPTION

       Reads  one  or  more  Netpbm files as input.  Writes out short descriptions of the image type, size, etc.
       This is mostly for use in shell scripts, so the format is not particularly pretty.

OPTIONS

       -allimages
              Describe every image in each input file.  Without this option, pamfile describes  only  the  first
              image  in  each  input  file.   Note that before July 2000, a file could not contain more than one
              image and many programs ignore all but the first.

SEE ALSO

       pam(5), file(1)
