You can use the minimum unique abbreviation of the options. You can use two hyphens instead of one. You can separate an option name from its value with white space instead of an equals sign.
This program is part of Netpbm.
pbmclean cleans up a PBM image of random specs. It reads a PBM image as input and outputs a PBM that is the same as the input except with isolated pixels inverted. An isolated pixel is one that has very few neighboring pixels of the same color. The -minneighbors option gives the number of same-color neighbors are required.
The default is 1 pixel -- only completely isolated pixels are flipped.
(A -minneighbors value greater than 8 generates a completely inverted image (but use pnminvert to do that) -- or a completely white or completely black image with the -black or -white option).
pbmclean considers the area beyond the edges of the image to be white. (This matters when you consider pixels right on the edge of the image).
You can use pbmclean to clean up "snow" on bitmap images.
Before December 2001, pbmclean accepted -N instead of -minneighbors. Before Netpbm 10.27 (March 2005), -minneighbors was -minneighbor.
