+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.B wm_corvi_s
+is a program to extract a signature from the DWT residue of
+a watermarked image
+.I file.
+The
+.B cmp_corvi_sig
+program is used to test the extracted signature against the original signature.
+The input image is in PGM (portable graymap) format.
+.PP
+If
+.I file
+or
+.I ofile
+is not specified, then standard input or standard output is
+used.
+.PP
+.B gen_corvi_sig
+is used to generate a signature file,
+.B wm_corvi_e
+embeds the signature into an image.
+.PP
+Please refer to Marco Corvi's paper "Wavelet-based image watermarking
+for copyright protection", to get an idea about the algorithm.
+.PP
+.SH OPTIONS
+.TP
+.BI \-a \ number
+Alpha factor that determines embedding strength of the signature.
+Allows to override the setting in the signature file.
+.TP
+.BI \-e \ number
+Wavelet filtering method for forward transformation.
+Allows to override the setting in the signature file.
+.TP
+.BI \-f \ number
+Wavelet filter number.
+Allows to override the setting in the signature file.
+.TP
+.BI \-F \ ffile
+Wavelet filter definition file.
+Allows to override the setting in the signature file.
+.TP
+.BI \-g \ number
+Wavelet filtering method for inverse transformation.
+Allows to override the setting in the signature file.
+.TP
+.B \-h
+Print a help message.
+.TP
+.BI \-i \ ifile
+The original image.
+.TP
+.BI \-o \ ofile
+Output watermarked image to the specified
+.I file
+instead of standard output.
+.TP

+file.
+.TP
+.BI \-v \ number
+Verbosity level. Default value: 0.
+.TP

+.PP
+.SH OUTPUT
+The signed (watermarked) image in PGM format is written to standard output
+or ,optionally, to
+.I ofile.
+.PP
+The output file has the following format:
+.TP
+.B CVSG
+Magic to identify file type.
+.TP
