+Usage
+---
+wham has a convenient command line interface. You can see all options with
+```wham -h```:
+
+To run the two dimensional example (simulation of dialanine phi and psi angle):
+```bash
+wham --max 3.14,3.14 --min -3.14,-3.14 -T 300 --bins 100,100 --cyclic -f example/2d/metadata.dat       
+> Supplied WHAM options: Metadata=example/2d/metadata.dat, hist_min=[-3.14, -3.14], hist_max=[3.14, 3.14], bins=[100, 100] verbose=false, tolerance=0.000001, iterations=100000, temperature=300, cyclic=true

+After convergence, final bias offsets (F) and the free energy will be dumped to stdout and the output file is written.
+
+
+The output file contains the free energy and probability for each bin. Probabilities are normalized to sum to P=1.0 and
+the smallest free energy is set to 0 (with other free energies based on that).
