What command-line options does skycat support?

In general, the syntax is: skycat fileName -option value … An argument not starting with “-” is taken to be a FITS image file to load. A “-” by itself means: read the FITS file from the standard input. A file with the suffix “.hfits” is taken to be an H-compressed FITS file and is decompressed automatically. A “.gfits” or “.gzfits” suffix indicates that the FITS file is GZIP compressed and a suffix of “.cfits” is assumed to be UNIX compressed. Image formats other than FITS are not currently supported, but will be in a future release.
