By default, only the brightest 100 objects (or closest 100, if the -s p option is used) are returned. Use the -n option to increase this number.
Output is to standard out, unless the -w flag is set, in which case it goes to objectname.ppm or search.ppm. It is alink to scat and is somewhat similar to rppm, which can search from lists of coordinates but cannot sort the output. This program automatically senses the byte order of the catalog and, if necessary, swaps it to match the byte order of the machine on which it is executing.
Set the environment variable WCS_BINDIR to the directory containing the files PPMra for searching and PPM for access by number.
