This library is a subset of the full PBMPLUS libraries. All it does is read and write PBM/PGM/PPM files. The interface is almost identical to the real libraries - the two differences are that pnm_init() turned into pnm_init2 with different args, and that all the routines that can fail return error statuses instead of exitting.
The intended use of this library is to make it easier for programs
to make use of PBMPLUS.
For instance, if you want to be able to
read in any type of image that PBMPLUS can handle, you could do a
popen("anytopnm file","r")
and then read from the resulting file pointer using these routines.
