Data is assumed to be in system type double + floating point words. This option is to be used when :program:`proj` is a child process + and allows bypassing formatting operations. + +.. option:: -d <n> + +.. versionadded:: 5.2.0 + + Specify the number of decimals in the output. + +.. option:: -i + + Selects binary input only (see :option:`-b`). + +.. option:: -I + + Alternate method to specify inverse projection. Redundant when used with + :program:`invproj`. + +.. option:: -o + + Selects binary output only (see :option:`-b`). + +.. option:: -t<a> + + Where *a* specifies a character employed as the first character to denote a + control line to be passed through without processing. This option + applicable to ASCII input only. (# is the default value). + +.. option:: -e <string> + + Where *string* is an arbitrary string to be output if an error is detected during + data transformations. The default value is a three character string: ``*\t*``. + Note that if the :option:`-b`, :option:`-i` or :option:`-o` options are employed, an error + is returned as HUGE_VAL value for both return values. + +.. option:: -E + + Causes the input coordinates to be copied to the output line prior to + printing the converted values. + +.. option:: -l<[=id]> + + List projection identifiers that can be selected with *+proj*. ``proj -l=id`` + gives expanded description of projection *id*, e.g. ``proj -l=merc``. + +.. option:: -lp + + List of all projection id that can be used with the *+proj* parameter. + Equivalent to ``proj -l``. + +.. option:: -lP + + Expanded description of all projections that can be used with the *+proj* + parameter. + +.. option:: -le + + List of all ellipsoids that can be selected with the *+ellps* parameters. + +.. option:: -lu + + List of all distance units that can be selected with the *+units* parameter. + +.. option:: -r + + This options reverses the order of the expected input from + longitude-latitude or x-y to latitude-longitude or y-x. + +.. option:: -s + + This options reverses the order of the output from x-y or longitude-latitude + to y-x or latitude-longitude. + +.. option:: -S + + Causes estimation of meridional and parallel scale factors, area scale + factor and angular distortion, and maximum and minimum scale factors to be + listed between <> for each input point. For conformal projections meridional + and parallel scales factors will be equal and angular distortion zero. Equal + area projections will have an area factor of 1. + +.. option:: -m <mult> + + The cartesian data may be scaled by the *mult* parameter. When processing data + in a forward projection mode the cartesian output values are multiplied by + *mult* otherwise the input cartesian values are divided by *mult* before inverse + projection. If the first two characters of *mult* are 1/ or 1: then the + reciprocal value of *mult* is employed. + +.. option:: -f <format> + + Where *format* is a printf format string to control the form of the output values. + For inverse projections, the output will be in degrees when this option is + employed. The default format is ``"%.2f"`` for forward projection and DMS for + inverse. + +.. option:: -w<n> + + Where *n* is the number of significant fractional digits to employ for seconds + output (when the option is not specified, ``-w3`` is assumed). + +.. option:: -W<n> + + Where *n* is the number of significant fractional digits to employ for seconds + output. When ``-W`` is employed the fields will be constant width + with leading zeroes. + +.. option:: -v + + Causes a listing of cartographic control parameters tested for and used by + the program to be printed prior to input data. + +.. option:: -V + + This option causes an expanded annotated listing of the characteristics of + the projected point. :option:`-v` is implied with this option. + + +The *+opt* run-line arguments are associated with cartographic parameters. +Additional projection control parameters may be contained in two auxiliary +control files: the first is optionally referenced with the +*+init=file:id* and the second is always processed after the name of the +projection has been established from either the run-line or the contents of ++init file. The environment parameter :envvar:`PROJ_LIB` establishes the +default directory for a file reference without an absolute path. This is +also used for supporting files like datum shift files. + +.. only:: html + + Usage of *+opt* varies with projection and for a complete description + consult the :ref:`projection pages <projections>`. + + +One or more files (processed in left to right order) specify the source of +data to be converted. A ``-`` will specify the location of processing standard +input. If no files are specified, the input is assumed to be from stdin. +For ASCII input data the two data values must be in the first two white space +separated fields and when both input and output are ASCII all trailing +portions of the input line are appended to the output line. + +Input geographic data (longitude and latitude) must be in DMS or decimal degrees format and input +cartesian data must be in units consistent with the ellipsoid major axis or +sphere radius units. Output geographic coordinates will be in DMS (if the +``-w`` switch is not employed) and precise to 0.001" with trailing, zero-valued +minute-second fields deleted. + +Example +******* +The following script + +.. code-block:: console + + proj +proj=utm +lon_0=112w +ellps=clrk66 -r <<EOF + 45d15'33.1" 111.5W + 45d15.551666667N -111d30 + +45.25919444444 111d30'000w + EOF + +will perform UTM forward projection with a standard UTM central meridian +nearest longitude 112W.
