+Introduction
+============
+pktools is a collection of programs written by Pieter Kempeneers in C++ to perform operations on raster images.
+It heavily relies on the Geospatial Data Abstraction Library (GDAL, http://www.gdal.org) and OGR. Some of the programs are similar to the gdal tools (gdalinfo, gdal_translate, gdal_merge,...) and many of the functionalities provided in pktools already exist. The reason for implementing pktools is a combination of personal preference and additional functionality.
+
+All utilities in pktools use command line options and have a built in help
+
+- use the `-h` option to get help
+- pktools ALWAYS use -i for input and -o for output (unlike GDAL utilities that commonly use last argument as output and second but last argument as input)
