NAME

6       gdalsrsinfo  -  Lists info about a given SRS in number of formats (WKT,
7       PROJ.4, etc.)
8

SYNOPSIS

10          Usage: gdalsrsinfo [--single-line] [-V] [-e][-o <out_type>] <srs_def>
11

DESCRIPTION

13       The gdalsrsinfo utility reports information about a given SRS from  one
14       of the following:
15
16       • The  filename  of  a dataset supported by GDAL/OGR which contains SRS
17         information
18
19       • Any of the usual GDAL/OGR forms (complete WKT, PROJ.4,  EPSG:n  or  a
20         file containing the SRS)
21
22       --single-line
23              Print WKT on single line
24
25       -V     Validate SRS
26
27       -e     Search for EPSG number(s) corresponding to SRS
28
29       -o <out_type>

61
62       <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)
