19 The ogrinfo program lists various information about an OGR-supported
20 data source to stdout (the terminal). By executing SQL statements it is
21 also possible to edit data.
22 -ro Open the data source in read-only mode.
24 -al List all features of all layers (used instead of having to give
26 layer names as arguments).
27 -rl Enable random layer reading mode, i.e. iterate over features in
29 the order they are found in the dataset, and not layer per
30 layer. This can be significantly faster for some formats (for
31 example OSM, GMLAS).
32 New in version 2.2.
34 -so Summary Only: suppress listing of individual features and show
37 only summary information like projection, schema, feature count
38 and extents.
39 -q Quiet verbose reporting of various information, including coor‐
41 dinate system, layer schema, extents, and feature count.
42 -where <restricted_where>
44 An attribute query in a restricted form of the queries used in
45 the SQL WHERE statement. Only features matching the attribute
46 query will be reported. Starting with GDAL 2.1, the \filename
47 syntax can be used to indicate that the content is in the
48 pointed filename.
49 -sql <statement>
51 Execute the indicated SQL statement and return the result.
52 Starting with GDAL 2.1, the @filename syntax can be used to in‐
53 dicate that the content is in the pointed filename. Data can
54 also be edited with SQL INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE, DROP TABLE, AL‐
55 TER TABLE etc. Editing capabilities depend on the selected di‐
56 alect.
57 -dialect <dialect>
59 SQL dialect. In some cases can be used to use (unoptimized)
60 ogr_sql_dialect instead of the native SQL of an RDBMS by passing
61 the OGRSQL dialect value. The sql_sqlite_dialect dialect can be
62 select with the SQLITE and INDIRECT_SQLITE dialect values, and
63 this can be used with any datasource.
64 -spat <xmin> <ymin> <xmax> <ymax>
66 The area of interest. Only features within the rectangle will be
67 reported.
68 -geomfield <field>
70 Name of the geometry field on which the spatial filter operates.
71 -fid <fid>
73 If provided, only the feature with this feature id will be re‐
74 ported. Operates exclusive of the spatial or attribute queries.
75 Note: if you want to select several features based on their fea‐
76 ture id, you can also use the fact the 'fid' is a special field
77 recognized by OGR SQL. So, -where "fid in (1,3,5)" would select
78 features 1, 3 and 5.
79 -fields YES|NO:
81 If set to NO, the feature dump will not display field values.
82 Default value is YES.
83 -fielddomain <domain_name>
85 New in version 3.3.
86 Display details about a field domain.
89 -geom YES|NO|SUMMARY|WKT|ISO_WKT
91 If set to NO, the feature dump will not display the geometry. If
92 set to SUMMARY, only a summary of the geometry will be dis‐
93 played. If set to YES or ISO_WKT, the geometry will be reported
94 in full OGC WKT format. If set to WKT the geometry will be re‐
95 ported in legacy WKT. Default value is YES. (WKT and ISO_WKT are
96 available starting with GDAL 2.1, which also changes the default
97 to ISO_WKT)
98 -oo NAME=VALUE
100 Dataset open option (format-specific)
101 -nomd Suppress metadata printing. Some datasets may contain a lot of
103 metadata strings.
104 -listmdd
106 List all metadata domains available for the dataset.
107 -mdd <domain>
109 Report metadata for the specified domain. all can be used to re‐
110 port metadata in all domains.
111 -nocount
113 Suppress feature count printing.
114 -noextent
116 Suppress spatial extent printing.
117 -nogeomtype
119 Suppress layer geometry type printing.
120 New in version 3.1.
122 --formats
125 List the format drivers that are enabled.
126 -wkt_format <format>
128 The WKT format used to display the SRS. Currently supported
129 values for the format are:
130 WKT1
132 WKT2 (latest WKT version, currently WKT2_2018)
134 WKT2_2015
136 WKT2_2018
138 New in version 3.0.0.
140 <datasource_name>
143 The data source to open. May be a filename, directory or other
144 virtual name. See the OGR Vector Formats list for supported
145 datasources.
146 <layer>
148 One or more layer names may be reported. If no layer names are
149 passed then ogrinfo will report a list of available layers (and
150 their layer wide geometry type). If layer name(s) are given then
151 their extents, coordinate system, feature count, geometry type,
152 schema and all features matching query parameters will be re‐
153 ported to the terminal. If no query parameters are provided, all
154 features are reported.
155 Geometries are reported in OGC WKT format.

159 Example of reporting the names of the layers in a NTF file:
160 ogrinfo wrk/SHETLAND_ISLANDS.NTF
162 # INFO: Open of `wrk/SHETLAND_ISLANDS.NTF'
164 # using driver `UK .NTF' successful.

171 tails about every single feature:
