``redccd --help``

Will print the list of arguments along with a quick explanation and default values.

It is the same for ``redspec``

``redspec --help``

For astrometric processing:

``redastrometry --help``

And for photometric processing:

``redphotometry --help``

All commands will display their respective parameters, options, and usage examples with detailed explanations and default values.
