NAME
pbmupc - create a Universal Product Code PBM image
SYNOPSIS
pbmupc
[-s1 | -s2] type manufacturer product
DESCRIPTION
This program is part of Netpbm(1).
pbmupc generates an image of a Universal Product Code symbol. The three
arguments are: a one digit product type, a five digit manufacturer code,
and a five digit product code. For example, "0 72890 00011" is the code
for Heineken.
pbmupc produces an image 230 bits wide and 175 bits high. If you want a
different size run the output through pamscale.
OPTIONS
In addition to the options common to all programs based on libnetpbm
(most notably -quiet, see ]8;;index.html#commonoptions\ Common Options]8;;\ ), pbmupc recognizes the fol-
lowing command line options:
The -s1 and -s2 options select the style of UPC to generate. The de-
fault, -s1, looks more or less like this:
||||||||||||||||
||||||||||||||||
||||||||||||||||
||||||||||||||||
0||12345||67890||5
The other style, -s2, puts the product type digit higher up, and doesn't
display the checksum digit:
||||||||||||||||
||||||||||||||||
0||||||||||||||||
||||||||||||||||
||12345||67890||
