How to use the command pnmtosir (with examples)

The pnmtosir command is used to convert a PNM (Portable aNy Map) file to a Solitaire Image Recorder (SIR) file. This is helpful when you need to transform an image file from one format to another, specifically from PNM to SIR.

Use case 1: Convert a PNM image to a SIR image

Code:

pnmtosir path/to/input.pnm > path/to/output.sir

Motivation: The motivation for using this example is to convert a PNM image file to a SIR image file. This may be useful, for example, if you have an application or device that can only accept SIR image files and you need to convert your existing PNM image to the required format.

Explanation:

• pnmtosir: This is the command itself, which converts a PNM file to a SIR file.
• path/to/input.pnm: This is the path to the input PNM image file that you want to convert.
• >: This is the output redirect symbol, which directs the output of the command to a file.
• path/to/output.sir: This is the path to the output SIR image file, where the converted image will be saved.

Example output: After running the command, the PNM image located at path/to/input.pnm will be converted to SIR format and saved as path/to/output.sir.
