NAME
       CosmicCalculator	- estimate cosmological	values

SYNOPSIS
       astcosmiccal [OPTION...]

DESCRIPTION
       CosmicCalculator	is part	of GNU Astronomy Utilities 0.23.  CosmicCalcu-
       lator  will  do cosmological calculations. If no	redshfit is specified,
       it will only print the main input parameters. If	 only  a  redshift  is
       given,  it will print a table of	all calculations. If any of the	single
       row calculations	are requested, only their values will be printed  with
       a single	space between each.

       For more	information, please run	any of the following commands. In par-
       ticular the second contains a very comprehensive	explanation of Cosmic-
       Calculator's  invocation:  expected input(s), output(s),	and a full de-
       scription of all	the options.

       All options and their values:
	      $	astcosmiccal -P

       Inputs/Outputs and options:
	      $	info astcosmiccal

       Full section in manual/book:
	      $	info CosmicCalculator

       Full Gnuastro manual/book:
	      $	info gnuastro

       If you couldn't find your answer	in the manual, you can get direct help
       from experienced	Gnuastro users and developers. For  more  information,
       please run:
