.SH SYNOPSIS
.B asttable
[\fI\,OPTION\/\fR...] \fI\,ASTRdata\/\fR
.SH DESCRIPTION
Table is part of GNU Astronomy Utilities 0.2.33\-8a3b.
Table prints (in a human readable format) a FITS table or its information. The
output columns can either be selected by number, name or using regular
expressions. The format of their printing can also be set (based on the type of
data in the column).
