This manual page documents briefly the

This manual page was written for the Debian distribution
because the original program does not have a manual page.
.PP
\fBqgis\fP displays shapefiles, georeferenced raster files, and digital elevation models. You can specify a QGIS project file on the command line to be displayed at startup. Or you can specify a combination of multiple shapefiles and/or raster files to be displayed at startup.
