16 gdalinfo program lists various information about a GDAL supported
17 raster dataset.
18 The following command line parameters can appear in any order
20 -json Display the output in json format.
22 -mm Force computation of the actual min/max values for each band in
24 the dataset.
25 -stats Read and display image statistics. Force computation if no sta‐
27 tistics are stored in an image.
28 -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 -hist Report histogram information for all bands.
36 -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 -nomd Suppress metadata printing. Some datasets may contain a lot of
42 metadata strings.
43 -norat Suppress printing of raster attribute table.
45 -noct Suppress printing of color table.
47 -checksum
49 Force computation of the checksum for each band in the dataset.
50 -listmdd
52 List all metadata domains available for the dataset.
53 -mdd <domain>|all
55 adds metadata using:
56 domain Report metadata for the specified domain.
58 all Report metadata for all domains.
60 -nofl Only display the first file of the file list.
62 -wkt_format WKT1|WKT2|WKT2_2015|WKT2_2018
64 WKT format used to display the SRS. Currently the supported
65 values are:
66 WKT1
68 WKT2 (latest WKT version, currently WKT2_2018)
70 WKT2_2015
72 WKT2_2018
74 New in version 3.0.0.
76 -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 -proj4 Report a PROJ.4 string corresponding to the file's coordinate
84 system.
85 -oo <NAME=VALUE>
87 Dataset open option (format specific).
88 -if <format>
90 Format/driver name to be attempted to open the input file(s). It
91 is generally not necessary to specify it, but it can be used to
92 skip automatic driver detection, when it fails to select the ap‐
93 propriate driver. This option can be repeated several times to
94 specify several candidate drivers.
95 New in version 3.2.
97 The gdalinfo will report all of the following (if known):
100 • The format driver used to access the file.
102 • Raster size (in pixels and lines).
104 • The coordinate system for the file (in OGC WKT).
106 • The geotransform associated with the file (rotational coefficients
108 are currently not reported).
109 • Corner coordinates in georeferenced, and if possible lat/long based
111 on the full geotransform (but not GCPs).
112 • Ground control points.
114 • File wide (including subdatasets) metadata.
116 • Band data types.
118 • Band color interpretations.
120 • Band block size.
122 • Band descriptions.
124 • Band min/max values (internally known and possibly computed).
126 • Band checksum (if computation asked).
128 • Band NODATA value.
130 • Band overview resolutions available.
132 • Band unit type (i.e.. "meters" or "feet" for elevation bands).
134 • Band pseudo-color tables.

138 This utility is also callable from C with GDALInfo().
139 New in version 2.1.
