SYNOPSIS


Usage: gdalsrsinfo [options] srs_def
srs_def may be the filename of a dataset supported by GDAL/OGR from which to extract SRS information
OR any of the usual GDAL/OGR forms (complete WKT, PROJ.4, EPSG:n or a file containing the SRS)
Options:
[--help-general] [-h] Show help and exit
[-p] Pretty-print where applicable (e.g. WKT)

mapinfo, xml }.fi

DESCRIPTION

The gdalsrsinfo utility reports information about a given SRS from one of the following:

  • The filename of a dataset supported by GDAL/OGR which contains SRS information
  • Any of the usual GDAL/OGR forms (complete WKT, PROJ.4, EPSG:n or a file containing the SRS)

Output types:

  • default proj4 and wkt (default option)
  • all all options available
  • wkt_all all wkt options available
  • proj4 PROJ.4 string
  • wkt OGC WKT format (full)
  • wkt_simple OGC WKT (simplified)
  • wkt_noct OGC WKT (without OGC CT params)
  • wkt_esri ESRI WKT format
  • mapinfo Mapinfo style CoordSys format
  • xml XML format (GML based)
