By the way, reading of not selfmade PGM is a little little more difficult, 
because the number of whitespaces is allowed to vary. I myself never had 
problems with simple fscanfs followed by fread of data. 
There is a manpage which says: 

> Each PGM image consists of the following:
 
       - A "magic number" for identifying the file type.   A  pgm
         file's magic number is the two characters "P5".

       - Whitespace (blanks, TABs, CRs, LFs).
 
       - A width, formatted as ASCII characters in decimal.
 
       - Whitespace.
 
       - A height, again in ASCII decimal.
 
       - Whitespace.
 
       - The maximum gray value (Maxval), again in ASCII decimal.
         Must be less than 65536.
 
       - Newline or other single whitespace character.
 
       - A raster of  Width  *  Height  gray  values,  proceeding
         through the image in normal English reading order.  Each
         gray value is a number from 0  through  Maxval,  with  0
         being  black and Maxval being white.  Each gray value is
         represented in pure binary by either 1 or 2  bytes.   If
         the  Maxval  is less than 256, it is 1 byte.  Otherwise,
         it is 2 bytes.  The most significant byte is first.
 
       - Characters from a "#" to the  next  end-of-line,  before
         the maxval line, are comments and are ignored.
