18 The ogrinfo program lists various information about an OGR-supported
19 data source to stdout (the terminal).
20 -ro Open the data source in read-only mode.
22 -al List all features of all layers (used instead of having to give
24 layer names as arguments).
25 -rl Enable random layer reading mode, i.e. iterate over features in
27 the order they are found in the dataset, and not layer per
28 layer. This can be significantly faster for some formats (for
29 example OSM, GMLAS).
30 New in version 2.2.
32 -so Summary Only: suppress listing of individual features and show
35 only summary information like projection, schema, feature count
36 and extents.
37 -q Quiet verbose reporting of various information, including coor‐
39 dinate system, layer schema, extents, and feature count.
40 -where <restricted_where>
42 An attribute query in a restricted form of the queries used in
43 the SQL WHERE statement. Only features matching the attribute
44 query will be reported. Starting with GDAL 2.1, the \filename
45 syntax can be used to indicate that the content is in the
46 pointed filename.
47 -sql <statement>
49 Execute the indicated SQL statement and return the result.
50 Starting with GDAL 2.1, the @filename syntax can be used to in‐
51 dicate that the content is in the pointed filename.
52 -dialect <dialect>
54 SQL dialect. In some cases can be used to use (unoptimized) OGR
55 SQL instead of the native SQL of an RDBMS by passing OGRSQL. The
56 "SQLITE" dialect can also be used with any datasource.
57 -spat <xmin> <ymin> <xmax> <ymax>
59 The area of interest. Only features within the rectangle will be
60 reported.
61 -geomfield <field>
63 Name of the geometry field on which the spatial filter operates.
64 -fid <fid>
66 If provided, only the feature with this feature id will be re‐
67 ported. Operates exclusive of the spatial or attribute queries.
68 Note: if you want to select several features based on their fea‐
69 ture id, you can also use the fact the 'fid' is a special field
70 recognized by OGR SQL. So, -where "fid in (1,3,5)" would select
71 features 1, 3 and 5.
72 -fields YES|NO:
74 If set to NO, the feature dump will not display field values.
75 Default value is YES.
76 -geom YES|NO|SUMMARY|WKT|ISO_WKT
78 If set to NO, the feature dump will not display the geometry. If
79 set to SUMMARY, only a summary of the geometry will be dis‐
80 played. If set to YES or ISO_WKT, the geometry will be reported
81 in full OGC WKT format. If set to WKT the geometry will be re‐
82 ported in legacy WKT. Default value is YES. (WKT and ISO_WKT are
83 available starting with GDAL 2.1, which also changes the default
84 to ISO_WKT)
85 -oo NAME=VALUE
87 Dataset open option (format-specific)
88 -nomd Suppress metadata printing. Some datasets may contain a lot of
90 metadata strings.
91 -listmdd
93 List all metadata domains available for the dataset.
94 -mdd <domain>
96 Report metadata for the specified domain. all can be used to re‐
97 port metadata in all domains.
98 -nocount
100 Suppress feature count printing.
101 -noextent
103 Suppress spatial extent printing.
104 -nogeomtype
106 Suppress layer geometry type printing.
107 New in version 3.1.
109 --formats
112 List the format drivers that are enabled.
113 -wkt_format <format>
115 The WKT format used to display the SRS. Currently supported
116 values for the format are:
117 WKT1
119 WKT2 (latest WKT version, currently WKT2_2018)
121 WKT2_2015
123 WKT2_2018
125 New in version 3.0.0.
127 <datasource_name>
130 The data source to open. May be a filename, directory or other
131 virtual name. See the OGR Vector Formats list for supported
132 datasources.
133 <layer>
135 One or more layer names may be reported. If no layer names are
136 passed then ogrinfo will report a list of available layers (and
137 their layer wide geometry type). If layer name(s) are given then
138 their extents, coordinate system, feature count, geometry type,
139 schema and all features matching query parameters will be re‐
140 ported to the terminal. If no query parameters are provided, all
141 features are reported.
142 Geometries are reported in OGC WKT format.

146 Example reporting all layers in an NTF file:
147 ogrinfo wrk/SHETLAND_ISLANDS.NTF
149 # INFO: Open of `wrk/SHETLAND_ISLANDS.NTF'
151 # using driver `UK .NTF' successful.
152 # 1: BL2000_LINK (Line String)
153 # 2: BL2000_POLY (None)
154 # 3: BL2000_COLLECTIONS (None)
155 # 4: FEATURE_CLASSES (None)
156 Example of retrieving a summary (-so) of a layer without showing de‐
158 tails about every single feature.
