DESCRIPTION

16       gdalinfo program lists  various  information  about  a  GDAL  supported
17       raster dataset.
18
19       The following command line parameters can appear in any order
20
21       -json  Display the output in json format.
22
23       -mm    Force  computation of the actual min/max values for each band in
24              the dataset.
25
26       -stats Read and display image statistics. Force computation if no  sta‐
27              tistics are stored in an image.
28
29       -approx_stats
30              Read  and display image statistics. Force computation if no sta‐
31              tistics are stored in an image. However, they  may  be  computed
32              based  on  overviews or a subset of all tiles. Useful if you are
33              in a hurry and don't want precise stats.
34
35       -hist  Report histogram information for all bands.
36
37       -nogcp Suppress ground control points list printing. It may  be  useful
38              for datasets with huge amount of GCPs, such as L1B AVHRR or HDF4
39              MODIS which contain thousands of them.
40
41       -nomd  Suppress metadata printing. Some datasets may contain a  lot  of
42              metadata strings.
43
44       -norat Suppress printing of raster attribute table.
45
46       -noct  Suppress printing of color table.
47
48       -checksum
49              Force computation of the checksum for each band in the dataset.
50
51       -listmdd
52              List all metadata domains available for the dataset.
53
54       -mdd <domain>|all
55              adds metadata using:
56
57              domain Report metadata for the specified domain.
58
59              all Report metadata for all domains.
60
61       -nofl  Only display the first file of the file list.
62
63       -wkt_format WKT1|WKT2|WKT2_2015|WKT2_2018
64              WKT  format  used  to  display the SRS.  Currently the supported
65              values are:
66
67              WKT1
68
69              WKT2 (latest WKT version, currently WKT2_2018)
70
71              WKT2_2015
72
73              WKT2_2018
74
75              New in version 3.0.0.
76
77
78       -sd <n>
79              If the input dataset contains several subdatasets read and  dis‐
80              play  a  subdataset  with  specified n number (starting from 1).
81              This is an alternative of giving the full subdataset name.
82
83       -proj4 Report a PROJ.4 string corresponding to  the  file's  coordinate
84              system.
85
86       -oo <NAME=VALUE>
87              Dataset open option (format specific).
88
89       The gdalinfo will report all of the following (if known):
90
91       · The format driver used to access the file.
92
93       · Raster size (in pixels and lines).
94
95       · The coordinate system for the file (in OGC WKT).
96
97       · The  geotransform  associated  with the file (rotational coefficients
98         are currently not reported).
99
100       · Corner coordinates in georeferenced, and if possible  lat/long  based
101         on the full geotransform (but not GCPs).
102
103       · Ground control points.
104
105       · File wide (including subdatasets) metadata.
106
107       · Band data types.
108
109       · Band color interpretations.
110
111       · Band block size.
112
113       · Band descriptions.
114
115       · Band min/max values (internally known and possibly computed).
116
117       · Band checksum (if computation asked).
118
119       · Band NODATA value.
120
121       · Band overview resolutions available.
122
123       · Band unit type (i.e.. "meters" or "feet" for elevation bands).
124
125       · Band pseudo-color tables.
126
