+vec2ras [options] <vector file>
+
+Options:
+
+ -k  <kwl>   Takes a keywordlist that describes the
+             drawing techniques of the vector file and
+             the output projection.  Please see the -t
+             option to generate template kwl to edit
+ -t <template_file> Generates a keywordlist for this app to take in                    with the -k option
+ -o  <raster file>   Raster output filename
+                     currently only geotiff output
+ -d <file_name>      dump vertices to file
+
+ <vector file> Currently we only support shape files
+               .shp .dbf .shx
+
+Typical usage example:
+Assuming you have file my_shape_file.shp to convert.
+
+run the command:
+
+  vec2ras -t my_shape_file.kwl
+
+The above command will output a my_shape_file.kwl which is a template.
+Edit my_shape_file.kwl for desired output.
+
+NOTE:
+
+The meters_per_pixel keywords determine the file size.
+If your shape file covers a large geographic area and you use 
+a meters_per_pixel of 1 you're going to get a huge output file.
+After editing the my_shape.kwl.
+
+run the command:
+
+  vec2ras -k my_shape_file.kwl -o my_shape_file.tif my_shape_file.shp
+
+You now should have a rasterized shape file called my_shape_file.tif.
