gdalsrsinfo
Lists info about a given SRS in number of formats (WKT, PROJ.4, etc.)
Synopsis
Usage: gdalsrsinfo [--help] [--help-general]
[--single-line] [-V] [-e][-o <out_type>] <srs_def>
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)
- --help
Show this help message and exit
- --help-general
Gives a brief usage message for the generic GDAL commandline options and exit.
- --single-line
Print WKT on single line
- -V
Validate SRS
- -e
Search for EPSG number(s) corresponding to SRS
- -o <out_type>
