How to use the command `pgmoil` (with examples)

This article provides examples of using the command pgmoil, which is now superseded by pamoil. The pgmoil command allows the user to view the documentation for the current command. By running tldr pamoil, the user can access the documentation for the current command.

Use case 1: View documentation for the current command

Code:

tldr pamoil

Motivation: This use case is helpful when you want to quickly access the documentation for the current command without navigating through external sources.

Explanation: The command tldr is a simplified and community-driven version of traditional man pages. It provides concise and practical examples for various commands. In this use case, we are using tldr to access the documentation for the current command, which has been superseded by pamoil.

Example Output:

pgmoil

This command is part of Netpbm(1).

You cannot run pgmoil directly. Instead, it is distributed (since Netpbm 10.42 (March 2009)) as a library and header file pair. 

It used to be a shell command that manipulated portable graymap (PGM) images via operate mode. The man page specifies no options and exits status 0 on success.
