     Get information about data tables.
 
+    Reads from files and finds the extreme values in each of the columns.
+    It recognizes NaNs and will print warnings if the number of columns vary
+    from record to record. As an option, it will find the extent of the first
+    n columns rounded up and down to the nearest multiple of the supplied
+    increments. By default, this output will be in the form *-Rw/e/s/n*,
+    or the output will be in column form for as many columns as there are
+    increments provided. The *T* option will provide a *-Tzmin/zmax/dz* string

     ----------
     fname : str
         The file name of the input data table file.
