Usage: cct [-options]... [+operator_specs]... infile...
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Options:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-c x,y,z,t Specify input columns for (up to) 4 input parameters.
Defaults to 1,2,3,4
-d n Specify number of decimals in output.
-I Do the inverse transformation
-o /path/to/file Specify output file name
-t value Provide a fixed t value for all input data (e.g. -t 0)
-z value Provide a fixed z value for all input data (e.g. -z 0)
-s n Skip n first lines of a infile
-v Verbose: Provide non-essential informational output.
Repeat -v for more verbosity (e.g. -vv)

Operator Specs:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The operator specs describe the action to be performed by cct, e.g:
+proj=utm +ellps=GRS80 +zone=32
instructs cct to convert input data to Universal Transverse Mercator, zone 32
coordinates, based on the GRS80 ellipsoid.
Hence, the command
echo 12 55 | cct -z0 -t0 +proj=utm +zone=32 +ellps=GRS80
Should give results comparable to the classic proj command
echo 12 55 | proj +proj=utm +zone=32 +ellps=GRS80
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Examples:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. convert geographical input to UTM zone 32 on the GRS80 ellipsoid:
cct +proj=utm +ellps=GRS80 +zone=32
2. roundtrip accuracy check for the case above:
cct +proj=pipeline +ellps=GRS80 +zone=32 +step +proj=utm \
+step +proj=utm +inv
3. as (1) but specify input columns for longitude, latitude, height and time:
cct -c 5,2,1,4 +proj=utm +ellps=GRS80 +zone=32
4. as (1) but specify fixed height and time, hence needing only 2 cols in input:
cct -t 0 -z 0 +proj=utm +ellps=GRS80 +zone=32
