+.SH NAME
+bbox \- prints out the bounding box of a rawppm or rawpbm image
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+
+\fBbbox\fR [ \fB-l\fR ] [ \fB-r\fR ] [ \fB-h\fR ] [ \fB-V\fR ] [ \fB\fIrawpbmfile\fB\fR ]
+
+.SH "DESCRIPTION"
+.PP
+\fBbbox\fR reads a rawppm or rawpbm file
+and prints out the bounding box of the image (as postscript comment and
+in postscript points, i.e. 1/72dpi) as well as the high resolution
+bounding box. Input is read from standard input if no filename is
+specified.
+Example output:
+
+.nf
+ %%BoundingBox: 12 253 829 837
+ %%HiResBoundingBox: 12.500000 253.000000 828.500000 837.00000
+
+.fi
+.PP
+\fBbbox\fR has only very limited memory requirements
+as it reads the input line by line and thus needs to store only one picture
+line in memory.
+.SH "OPTIONS"
+.TP
+\fB-h | --help \fR
+Show summary of options.
+.TP
+\fB-V \fR
+Show version of program.
+.TP
+\fB-r \fR
+resolution of picture in dpi
+.TP
+\fB-l \fR
+loose bounding box (integer bounding box is expanded by 1
+point, hires bounding box is expanded by 0.5 points)
