+Restore headerlet extension(s) as either a primary WCS or as alternate WCSs
+
+This task can restore a WCS solution stored in a headerlet extension or
+restore all WCS solutions from all headerlet extensions with the same
+distortion model.
+
+Parameters
+----------
+filename: string or HDUList
+ Either a filename or PyFITS HDUList object for the input science file
+ An input filename (str) will be expanded as necessary to interpret
+ any environmental variables included in the filename.
+
+archive: boolean (default True)
+ flag indicating if HeaderletHDUs should be created from the
+ primary and alternate WCSs in fname before restoring all matching
+ headerlet extensions
+
+force: boolean (default:False)
+ When the distortion models of the headerlet and the primary do
+ not match, and archive is False, this flag forces an update of
+ the primary.
+
+distname: string
+ distortion model as represented by a DISTNAME keyword
+
+primary: int or string or None
+ HeaderletHDU to be restored as primary
+ if int - a fits extension
+ if string - HDRNAME
+ if None - use first HeaderletHDU
+
+sciext: string (default: SCI)
+ EXTNAME value of FITS extensions with WCS keywords
+
+hdrname: string
+ HDRNAME keyword of HeaderletHDU
+
+hdrext: int or tuple
+ Headerlet extension number of tuple ('HDRLET',2)
+
+logging: boolean
+ enable file logging \ No newline at end of file
