6 gdalsrsinfoLists info about a given SRS in number of formats (WKT,
7 PROJ.4, etc.)
8
10 Usage: gdalsrsinfo [options] srs_def
11 srs_def may be the filename of a dataset supported by GDAL/OGR from which to extract SRS information
13 OR any of the usual GDAL/OGR forms (complete WKT, PROJ.4, EPSG:n or a file containing the SRS)
14 Options:
16 [--help-general] [-h] Show help and exit
17 [--single-line] Print WKT on single line
18 [-V] Validate SRS
19 [-e] Search for EPSG number(s) corresponding to SRS
20 [-o out_type] Output type { default, all, wkt_all, proj4,
21 wkt, wkt_simple, wkt_noct, wkt_esri,
22 wkt2_2015, wkt2_2018, mapinfo, xml }.fi
