+DESCRIPTION
+
+  DOS EPS Binary File Format
+
+    A Encapsulated PostScript (EPS) file can also given in a special binary
+    format to support the inclusion of a thumbnail. The file format starts
+    with a binary header that contains the positions of the possible
+    sections:
+
+    * Postscript (PS)
+    * Windows Metafile Format (WMF)
+    * Tag Image File Format (TIFF)
+
+    The PS section must be present and either the WMF file or the TIFF file
+    should be given.
+
+OPTIONS
+
+    --eps-file=<*file*>
+        The PS section is written to <*file*>. The output file must be
+        different from the input file.
+
+    --wmf-file=<*file*>
+        The WMF section is written to <*file*> if present. The output file
+        must be different from the input file.
+
+    --tiff-file=<*file*>
+        The TIFF section is written to <*file*> if present. The output file
+        must be different from the input file.
+
+    --inputfile=<*file*>
+        The input file can also be given directly on the command line. If
+        the file does not exist, then the file with extension `.eps' is
+        tried.
+
+    --verbose
+        Verbose messages.
+
+    --quiet
+        No messages are printed except for errors and warnings.
+
+    --help
+        Display help screen.
+
+    --man
+        Prints manual page.
+
+    --version
+        Print version identification and exit.
+
+EXAMPLES
+
+    The following command extracts the PS section from file test.eps and
+    stores the result in file test-ps.eps:
+
+        dosepsbin --eps-file test-ps.eps test.eps
