## The `project` Command

The `project` command, that can have no options, writes to the standard output the projection of a point:

    project LATD LONGD DATUM PROJECTION [PARAMS]

where:

- `LATD LONGD DATUM` are the latitude and longitude in signed decimal degrees and the datum of the point to project
- `PROJECTION [PARAMS]` defines the projection to use and its parameters; if no `datum=X` parameter is given the datum of the point is used; use `show projections` for a list of the available projections and their parameters.

The result consists in two numbers corresponding to the x- and y-coordinates of the projected point. In the case of projections related to grids, except for UTM, no false easting or northing is added. Information on zones is not given.
