.SH NAME
MakeNoise \- add noise to an image
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B astmknoise
[\fI\,OPTION\/\fR...] \fI\,ASTRdata\/\fR
.SH DESCRIPTION
MakeNoise is part of GNU Astronomy Utilities 0.19.
MakeNoise will add noise to all the pixels in an input dataset. The noise
parameters can be specified with the options below.
.PP
For more information, please run any of the following commands. In particular
the second contains a very comprehensive explanation of MakeNoise's invocation:
expected input(s), output(s), and a full description of all the options.
.TP
All options and their values:
$ astmknoise \fB\-P\fR
