NAME

       Match - match catalogs by 1D or 2D positions

SYNOPSIS

       astmatch [OPTION...] ASTRdata

DESCRIPTION

       Match  is part of GNU Astronomy Utilities 0.16.  Match matches catalogs of objects and (by
       default) will return the re-arranged matching inputs. The optional log  file  will  return
       low-level information about the match (indexs and distances).

       For  more  information, please run any of the following commands. In particular the second
       contains a very  comprehensive  explanation  of  Match's  invocation:  expected  input(s),
       output(s), and a full description of all the options.

       All options and their values:
              $ astmatch -P

       Inputs/Outputs and options:
              $ info astmatch

       Full section in manual/book:
              $ info Match

       Full Gnuastro manual/book:
              $ info gnuastro
