# pnmdepth(1)

replaced by pamdepth

## NAME

pnmdepth - replaced by pamdepth

## DESCRIPTION

This program is part of **Netpbm**(1) .

Starting with Netpbm 10.32 (February 2006), **pnmdepth** is obsolete.  Use [**pamdepth**(1)](/pamdepth/1.md)  instead.

**pamdepth** is backward compatible with **pnmdepth**.  You can use the **pamdepth** manual for **pnmdepth** as long as you ignore features that were added after Netpbm 10.31.

For backward compatibility, the name 'pnmdepth' continues to exist as an alias for 'pamdepth'.  But because of a bug, that name doesn't work in Netpbm 10.32.  You have to fix the symbolic link.
