Hello Artem,

Here are the details on the parameters:

Usage: srtm2shp -b comma_separated_bbox [-I InCoordFormat] [-O OutCoordFormat]
[-i height_interval] [-S step] [-f] [-l srtmlocation] shpfile

-I is the input coordinate format, i.e. the coordinate format of the supplied 
bounding box. This can either be Mercator (non spherical, as used in the OSM 
postgis database) or latlon.

-O is the output coordinate format, i.e. the coordinate format that will go 
into the shapefile. Again this is either Mercator or latlon.

-i is the height interval of the contours. Contours are in metres unless -f is 
specified, in which case they are in feet.

The shapefile is generated tile by tile (otherwise too much memory is used). 
-S (the "step") is the dimension of this tile, by default it's 10000 for 
Mercator or 0.1 for lat/lon. It's unlikely you need to change this.

Hope that helps,
Nick
