+.SH NAME
+pktype \- verify and translate a packed font bitmap file to plain text
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.B pktype
+.IR pk_file [pk]
+.\"=====================================================================
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+This manual page is not meant to be exhaustive. The complete
+documentation for this version of \*(TX can be found in the info file
+or manual
+.IR "Web2C: A TeX implementation" .
+.PP
+The
+.B pktype
+program translates a packed font file
+.RI ( pk )
+(output by, for example,
+.BR gftopk (1)
+to a file that humans can read. It also serves as a
+.I pk
+file-validating program (i.e., if
+.B pktype
+can read it, it's correct) and as an example of a
+.IR pk -reading
+program for other software that wants to read
+.I pk
+files.
+.PP
+The input
+.I pk_file
+on the command line may omit the suffix `pk.
+The plain text translation is always written to standard output.
+.PP
+The output file gives a compact encoding of the packed encoding, using
+conventions described in the source code. Run lengths of black pixels
+alternate with parenthesized run lengths of white pixels, and brackets
+are used to indicate when a row should be repeated.
+.\"=====================================================================
+.SH ENVIRONMENT
+.B pktype
+looks for
+.I pk_file
+in the usual places according to Kpathsea.
+.PP
+See
+.BR tex (1)
+for the details of the searching.

+Donald E. Knuth originally ported it to Unix,
+Pierre MacKay originally adapted it for compilation with Web2c.
