NAME

9       gdaltindex - builds a shapefile as a raster tileindex
10

SYNOPSIS

12       gdaltindex [-tileindex field_name] [-write_absolute_path] [-skip_different_projection] index_file [gdal_file]*
13

DESCRIPTION

15       This program builds a shapefile with a record for each input raster
16       file, an attribute containing the filename, and a polygon geometry
17       outlining the raster. This output is suitable for use with MapServer as
18       a raster tileindex.
19
20       · The shapefile (index_file) will be created if it doesn't already
21         exist, otherwise it will append to the existing file.
22       · The default tile index field is 'location'.
23       · Raster filenames will be put in the file exactly as they are
24         specified on the commandline unless the option -write_absolute_path
25         is used.
26       · If -skip_different_projection is specified, only files with same
27         projection ref as files already inserted in the tileindex will be
28         inserted.
29       · Simple rectangular polygons are generated in the same coordinate
30         system as the rasters.
