  - clip:         Clip a raster dataset.
  - color-map:    Generate a RGB or RGBA dataset from a single band, using a color map
  - contour:      Creates a vector contour from a raster elevation model (DEM).
  - convert:      Convert a raster dataset.
  - create:       Create a new raster dataset.
  - edit:         Edit a raster dataset.
  - fill-nodata:  Fill nodata raster regions by interpolation from edges.
  - footprint:    Compute the footprint of a raster dataset.
  - hillshade:    Generate a shaded relief map
  - index:        Create a vector index of raster datasets.
  - info:         Return information on a raster dataset.
  - mosaic:       Build a mosaic, either virtual (VRT) or materialized.
  - overview:     Manage overviews of a raster dataset.
  - pipeline:     Process a raster dataset.
  - pixel-info:   Return information on a pixel of a raster dataset.
  - polygonize:   Create a polygon feature dataset from a raster band.
  - reclassify:   Reclassify values in a raster dataset
  - reproject:    Reproject a raster dataset.
  - resize:       Resize a raster dataset without changing the georeferenced extents.
  - roughness:    Generate a roughness map
  - scale:        Scale the values of the bands of a raster dataset.
  - select:       Select a subset of bands from a raster dataset.
  - set-type:     Modify the data type of bands of a raster dataset.
  - sieve:        Remove small polygons from a raster dataset.
  - slope:        Generate a slope map
  - stack:        Combine together input bands into a multi-band output, either virtual (VRT) or materialized.
  - tile:         Generate tiles in separate files from a raster dataset.
  - tpi:          Generate a Topographic Position Index (TPI) map
  - tri:          Generate a Terrain Ruggedness Index (TRI) map
  - unscale:      Convert scaled values of a raster dataset into unscaled values.
  - viewshed:     Compute the viewshed of a raster dataset.

Common Options:
  -h, --help              Display help message and exit
  --json-usage            Display usage as JSON document and exit
  --config <KEY>=<VALUE>  Configuration option [may be repeated]

Options:
  --drivers               Display raster driver list as JSON document
