- Fix a Netpbm file that is missing its last part:

`pamfix -truncate {{path/to/corrupted.ext} > {{path/to/output.ext}}`

- Fix a Netpbm file where pixel values exceed the image's `maxval` by lowering the offending pixels' values:

`pamfix -clip {{path/to/corrupted.ext}} > {{path/to/output.ext}}`

- Fix a Netpbm file where pixel values exceed the image's maxval by increasing it:

`pamfix -changemaxval {{path/to/corrupted.pam|pbm|pgm|ppm}} > {{path/to/output.pam|pbm|pgm|ppm}}`
