            "content": "This program is part of Netpbm(1).\n\nStarting  with  Netpbm  10.86  (March 2019), ppmbrighten is obsolete.  Use pambrighten(1) in‐\nstead.\n\npambrighten is mostly backward compatible with ppmbrighten.  You can use the pambrighten man‐\nual for ppmbrighten as long as you ignore features that were added after Netpbm 10.86.\n\nOne way in which pambrighten is not backward compatible is that\npambrighten does not have a -normalize option.  If you want\nthat function, use pnmnorm on the image before passing it to\npambrighten.\n\nAnother backward incompatibility is that pambrighten produces the\nsame kind of output as the input, whereas ppmbrighten always\nproduces PPM.  If you need PPM output, pass the results through\nppmtoppm.\n\nppmbrighten is currently implemented as a triviel program that\ninvokes pambrighten, pnmnorm, and ppmtoppm.\n\n",
