15 gdalmdiminfo program lists various information about a GDAL supported
16 multidimensional raster dataset as JSON output. It follows the follow‐
17 ing JSON schema
18
19 The following command line parameters can appear in any order
20
21 -detailed
22 Most verbose output. Report attribute data types and array val‐
23 ues.
24
25 -nopretty
26 Outputs on a single line without any indentation.
27
28 -array {array_name}
29 Name of the array used to restrict the output to the specified
30 array.
31
32 -limit {number}
33 Number of values in each dimension that is used to limit the
34 display of array values. By default, unlimited. Only taken into
35 account if used with -detailed.
36
37 -oo <NAME=VALUE>
38 Dataset open option (format specific). This option may be used
39 several times.
40
41 -arrayoption <NAME=VALUE>
42 Option passed to GDALGroup::GetMDArrayNames() to filter reported
43 arrays. Such option is format specific. Consult driver documen‐
44 tation. This option may be used several times.
