NAME

       MakeNoise - add noise to an image

SYNOPSIS

       astmknoise [OPTION...] ASTRdata

DESCRIPTION

       MakeNoise  is  part  of GNU Astronomy Utilities 0.18.  MakeNoise will add noise to all the
       pixels in an input dataset. The noise parameters can be specified with the options below.

       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.

       All options and their values:
              $ astmknoise -P

       Inputs/Outputs and options:
              $ info astmknoise

       Full section in manual/book:
              $ info MakeNoise

       Full Gnuastro manual/book:
              $ info gnuastro

       If you couldn't find your answer in the manual, you can get direct help  from  experienced
       Gnuastro users and developers. For more information, please run:

       -e, --envseed
              Use GSL_RNG_SEED environment variable for seed

       --lastconfig
              Do not parse any more configuration files.

       --log  Information about output(s) in a log file.

       --minmapsize=INT
              Min. bytes to avoid RAM automatically.

              Number of CPU threads to use.

       --onlyversion=STR
              Only run if the program version is STR.

       -P, --printparams
              Print parameter values to be used and abort.

       --quietmmap
              Don't print mmap'd file's name and size.

       -q, --quiet
