14
16 The gdalinfo program lists various information about a GDAL supported
17 raster dataset.
18 -mm
20 Force computation of the actual min/max values for each band in the
21 dataset.
22 -stats
24 Read and display image statistics. Force computation if no
25 statistics are stored in an image.
26 -nogcp
28 Suppress ground control points list printing. It may be useful for
29 datasets with huge amount of GCPs, such as L1B AVHRR or HDF4 MODIS
30 which contain thousands of the ones.
31 -nomd
33 Suppress metadata printing. Some datasets may contain a lot of
34 metadata strings.
35 -noct
37 Suppress printing of color table.
38 -checksum
40 Force computation of the checksum for each band in the dataset.
41 -mdd domain
43 Report metadata for the specified domain
44 The gdalinfo will report all of the following (if known):
46 · The format driver used to access the file.
48 · Raster size (in pixels and lines).
49 · The coordinate system for the file (in OGC WKT).
50 · The geotransform associated with the file (rotational coefficients
51 are currently not reported).
52 · Corner coordinates in georeferenced, and if possible lat/long based
53 on the full geotransform (but not GCPs).
54 · Ground control points.
55 · File wide (including subdatasets) metadata.
56 · Band data types.
57 · Band color interpretations.
58 · Band block size.
59 · Band descriptions.
60 · Band min/max values (internally known and possibly computed).
61 · Band checksum (if computation asked).
62 · Band NODATA value.
63 · Band overview resolutions available.
64 · Band unit type (i.e.. 'meters' or 'feet' for elevation bands).
65 · Band pseudo-color tables.
