+<H2>OPTIONS</H2>
+
+The <I>votpos</I> task accepts the following options:
+<DL COMPACT>
+<DT><B>-h, --help</B>
+
+<DD>
+Print a help summary to the terminal and exit. No processing is done
+following this flag.
+<P>
+<B>-n, --number</B>
+
+Print the row number before the position.
+<DT><B>-o </B><I>NAME</I>, --output <I>NAME</I>
+
+<DD>
+Write the result to the file <I>NAME</I>.
+<P>
+</DL>
+<A NAME="lbAE">&nbsp;</A>
+<H2>DESCRIPTION</H2>
+
+The <I>votpos</I> task is used to extract the positional information from a
+VOTable. The columns identified by the UCD <I>POS_EQ_RA_MAIN</I> and
+<I>POS_EQ_DEC_MAIN</I> (or UCD+ values <I>pos.eq.ra;meta.main</I> and
+<I>pos.eq.dec;meta.main</I>) are located automatically and will be written
+as a two-column ascii table to the stdout, or to the file named by
+the <I>-o</I> flag. An error will be printed if no columns with these
+specific UCDs are found.
+<P>
+If no input file is specified the VOTable will be read from the stdin,
+results will be written to stdout unless the <I>-o</I> (or <I>--output</I>)
+names an output file. The task will only process a single VOTable and may
+not be used to convert multiple files in a single call. In a multi-resource
+VOTABLE only the first &lt;RESOURCE&gt; table will be processed.
+<P>
+<A NAME="lbAF">&nbsp;</A>
+<H2>RETURN STATUS</H2>
+
+On exit the <B>votpos</B> task will return a zero indicating success, or a
+one indicating an error.
+<P>
+<A NAME="lbAG">&nbsp;</A>
+<H2>EXAMPLES</H2>
+
+<DL COMPACT>
+<DT>1) Print the primary (RA,Dec) columns from a table:<DD>
+<P>
+<PRE>
+ % votpos test.xml # un-numbered
+ % votpos -n test.xml # numbered
+ % cat test.xml | votpos # un-numbered
+</PRE>
+
+<DT>2) Print the primary (RA,Dec) columns to a file:<DD>
+<P>
+<PRE>
+ % votpos -o pos.txt test.xml
+</PRE>
+
+</DL>
+<A NAME="lbAH">&nbsp;</A>
+<H2>BUGS</H2>
+
+- No known bugs with this release.
+<P>
+- The task should have options to specify columns to extract when no UCDs are
+available.
