            "content": "This program is part of Netpbm(1).\n\nppmtoapplevol reads a PPM image as input and produces an Apple volume label image as output.\n\nEFI-based  Apple  systems  use  a  simple image format to provide textual labels for devices.\nThis program generates that format.\n\nThe input image must be exactly 12 rows tall and up to 255 columns wide.\nThe program fails if it is not.  Use pamfile to see the dimensions of\nyour image and pamscale or pamcut to make it 12 rows and less\nthan 256 columns if it isn't.\n\nNetpbm does not have a converter for the other direction.\n\n",
