A little more on geotifcp. It doesn't really have an explicit
usage/help switch, but if I type just the command, I get the usage
description. There is a typo in it, however

    $geotifcp
    usage: gtiffcp [options] input... output

huh! What the heck is `gtiffcp` ?

    $gtiffcp
    -bash: gtiffcp: command not found
