Keyword Input Parameters

KEYLIST - Name of a file containing a correspondence list. This list
associates a set of standard names with the actual keyword
names found in a FITS file header. If this keyword is

The middle column is a flag. It may be K, for Keyword,
T, for Template, or V, for Value. If it is V, the contents
of the third field on that line should make sense for the
name in the first field.

Outputs

info - Anonymous structure with information about a template image
if constructed from this data image. This information is
intended to help with populating the refim and template
