+@section Invoking @command{makeBoundary}
+
+The @command{makeBoundary} program creates boundary condition files for
+the @emph{FullSWOF} solver. The command-line syntax is:
+
+@example
+makeBoundary @option{boundary}
+@end example
+
+where @option{boundary} is one of @code{top}, @code{bottom}, @code{left}
+and @code{right}.
+
+There are five types of boundary condition that are recognised by the
+solver:
+
+@table @asis
+@item case 1
+imposed height condition
+
+@item case 2
+wall condition
+
+@item case 3
+Neumann condition
+
+@item case 4
+periodic condition
+
+@item case 5
+imposed discharge condition
+@end table
+
+Cases 1 and 5 are implemented in @emph{makeBoundary}. A height value
+and a discharge value are calculated for each cell along the boundary.
+At grid cells where the calculated values are zero the wall boundary
+condition, case 2, is applied.
