6 gdalsrsinfo - Lists info about a given SRS in number of formats (WKT,
7 PROJ.4, etc.)
8
10 Usage: gdalsrsinfo [--single-line] [-V] [-e][-o <out_type>] <srs_def>
11
13 The gdalsrsinfo utility reports information about a given SRS from one
14 of the following:
15 • The filename of a dataset supported by GDAL/OGR which contains SRS
17 information
18 • Any of the usual GDAL/OGR forms (complete WKT, PROJ.4, EPSG:n or a
20 file containing the SRS)
21 --single-line
23 Print WKT on single line
24 -V Validate SRS
26 -e Search for EPSG number(s) corresponding to SRS
28 -o <out_type>
30 Output types:
31 • default: proj4 and wkt (default option)
33 • all: all options available
35 • wkt_all: all wkt options available
37 • PROJJSON: PROJJSON string (GDAL >= 3.1 and PROJ >= 6.2)
39 • proj4: PROJ.4 string
41 • wkt1: OGC WKT format (full)
43 • wkt_simple: OGC WKT 1 (simplified)
45 • wkt_noct: OGC WKT 1 (without OGC CT params)
47 • wkt_esri: ESRI WKT format
49 • wkt: Latest WKT version supported, currently wkt2_2019
51 • wkt2: Latest WKT2 version supported, currently wkt2_2019
53 • wkt2_2015: OGC WKT2:2015
55 • wkt2_2019: OGC WKT2:2019 (for GDAL < 3.6, use wkt2_2018)
57 • mapinfo: Mapinfo style CoordSys format
59 • xml: XML format (GML based)
61 <srs_def>
63 may be the filename of a dataset supported by GDAL/OGR from
64 which to extract SRS information OR any of the usual GDAL/OGR
65 forms (complete WKT, PROJ.4, EPSG:n or a file containing the
66 SRS)
