+.SH NAME
+scour \- SVG optimizer/cleaner
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.B scour
+[\fIinput.svg\fR [\fIoutput.svg\fR]] [\fIoptions\fR]
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.B Scour
+is an SVG optimizer/cleaner that reduces the size of scalable vector graphics
+by optimizing structure and removing unnecessary data written in Python.
+
+It can be used to create streamlined vector graphics suitable for web
+deployment, publishing/sharing or further processing.
+
+The goal of
+.B Scour
+is to output a file that renderes identically at a fraction of the size by
+removing a lot of redundant information created by most SVG editors.

+agressive cleaning.
