Description
    Extract boundaries from an OpenFOAM mesh and write in a surface format
 
Usage
    \b foamToSurface [OPTION]
 
    Options:
      - \par -scale <factor>
        Specify an alternative geometry scaling factor.
        E.g. use \b 1000 to scale \em [m] to \em [mm].
 
      - \par -tri
        Triangulate surface.
