 Usage: geoclustering [OPTIONS] FILENAME
 
+  Tool to cluster geolocations. A cluster is created when a certain number of
+  points (--size) each are within a given distance (--distance) of at least
+  one other point in the cluster. Input is supplied as a csv file. At a
+  minimum, each row needs to have a 'lat' and a 'lon' column. Other rows are
+  reflected to the output.

 Options:
   -d, --distance FLOAT            (in km) Max. distance between two points in
                                   a cluster.  [required]
