The following command line utilities are included in the PROJ package:
-- proj, for cartographic projection of geodetic coordinates
-- cs2cs, for transformation from one CRS to another CRS.
-- geod, for geodesic (great circle) computations.
-- cct, for generic Coordinate Conversions and Transformations.
-- gie, the Geospatial Integrity Investigation Environment.
-- projinfo, for geodetic object and coordinate operation queries
