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  manufac-
       turer  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
        Common Options ⟨index.html#commonoptions⟩  ),  pbmupc  recognizes  the
       following 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||
