NAME
       gshhs2grass - Extracting GSHHS and WDBII data in GRASS-compatible ASCII format

SYNOPSIS
       gshhs2grass -i gshhs_[f|h|i|l|c].b [ -xminx ] [-Xmaxx ] [ -yminy ] [ -Ymaxy ]

DESCRIPTION
       gshhs2grass reads the binary coastline (GSHHS) and and translates it into an ASCII format suitable for import into GRASS.  It automatically
       handles byte-swabbing between different architectures.

       gshhs_[f|h|i|l|c].b
	      One of the GSHHS binary data file as distributed with the GSHHS data supplement.	Any of the 5  standard	resolutions  (full,  high,
	      intermediate, low, crude) can be used.  The resulting files are called dig_[ascii|att|cats].gshhs_[f|h|i|l|c].

OPTIONS
       -x     Specify a minimum (west) longitude.

       -X     Specify a maximum (east) longitude.

       -y     Specify a minimum (south) latitude.

       -Y     Specify a maximum (north) latitude.

EXAMPLES
       To convert the full GSHHS data set , try
