SYNOPSIS

9       gdaltindex [-tileindex field_name] index_file [gdal_file]*

DESCRIPTION

12       This program builds a shapefile with a record for each input raster
13       file, an attribute containing the filename, and a polygon geometry
14       outlining the raster. This output is suitable for use with UMN
15       MapServer as a raster tileindex.
16
17       · The shapefile (index_file) will be created if it doesn't already
18         exist, otherwise it will append to the existing file.
19       · The default tile index field is 'location'.
20       · Raster filenames will be put in the file exactly as they are
21         specified on the commandline.
22       · Simple rectangular polygons are generated in the same coordinate
23         system as the rasters.
