pk2bm - create a bitmap from a TeX pkfont
SYNOPSIS :
pk2bm [-bh] [-Wwidth] [-Hheight] -cchar pkfont
pk2bm [-bh] [-Wwidth] [-Hheight] -ooctchar pkfont
DESCRIPTION
This program generates a bitmap (ASCII file) which can be used to create X11 applications. The bitmap file consists of all pixels of the
specified character (via the -c or -o option) from the given pkfont. The format is described in bitmap(X11).
The pkfont is a packed fontfile generated by gftopk(TeX) from a gffont. A gffont is the output of METAFONT a program to design fonts in a
device independant way.
With the -b flag a bitmap is generated in which all black pixels are drawn as a `*' and all white bits as a `.'. With the -h flag a hexa-
decimal bitmap dump is generated.
The -W and/or -H options can be used to create a bitmap of respectivally `width' and `height' pixels. The pk-bitmap will in this case be
centered according to these new dimensions.
The output is written to the standard output.

What is the point of this? Whenever I close my shell it appends to the history file without adding this. I have never seen it overwrite my history file.
# When the shell exits, append to the history file instead of overwriting it
