Name
       wcshead - Print WCS part of FITS or IRAF image header

Synopsis
       wcshead [-hrtvsz] FITS or IRAF file(s)

Description
       wcshead is a utility for printing the world coordinate system information in IRAF and FITS image headers. It converts IRAF .imh image head-
       ers to FITS format before extracting the information.  For IRAF files, the image dimensions and the object name are  set  from  the  binary
       portion of the header.

Options
       -h     Print CRVALs as hh:mm:ss and dd:mm:ss instead of degrees

       -r     Print first dimension as rest wavelength limiting values

       -t     Print tab-separated table output, with headers

       -v     Print more intermediate information for debugging

       -w     Print only first dimension limiting values (wavelength for spectra)

       -z     Use AIPS classic projections instead of WCSLIB
