.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.PP
The gdalmanage program can perform various operations on raster data files, depending on the chosen \fImode\fP\&. This includes identifying raster data types and deleting, renaming or copying the files\&.
.PP
.IP "\fB\fImode\fP:\fP" 1c
Mode of operation 
.IP "\fB\fBidentify\fP \fIdatasetname\fP:\fP" 1c
List data format of file\&. 
.IP "\fB\fBcopy\fP \fIdatasetname newdatasetname\fP:\fP" 1c
Create a copy of the raster file with a new name\&. 
.IP "\fB\fBrename\fP \fIdatasetname newdatasetname\fP:\fP" 1c
Change the name of the raster file\&. 
.IP "\fB\fBdelete\fP \fIdatasetname\fP:\fP" 1c
Delete raster file\&. 
.PP
.PP
.IP "\fB\fB-r\fP:\fP" 1c
Recursively scan files/folders for raster files\&. 
.IP "\fB\fB-u\fP:\fP" 1c
Report failures if file type is unidentified\&. 
.IP "\fB\fB-f\fP \fIformat\fP:\fP" 1c
Specify format of raster file if unknown by the application\&. Uses short data format name (e\&.g\&. \fIGTiff\fP)\&.
.PP
.IP "\fB\fIdatasetname\fP:\fP" 1c
Raster file to operate on\&. 
.IP "\fB\fInewdatasetname\fP:\fP" 1c
For copy and rename modes, you provide a \fIsource\fP filename and a \fItarget\fP filename, just like copy and move commands in an operating system\&.

.SH "EXAMPLES"
.PP
.SS "Using identify mode"
Report the data format of the raster file by using the \fIidentify\fP mode and specifying a data file name:
.PP
.PP
.nf
$ gdalmanage identify NE1_50M_SR_W.tif

NE1_50M_SR_W.tif: GTiff
.fi
.PP
.PP
Recursive mode will scan subfolders and report the data format:
.PP
.PP
.nf
$ gdalmanage identify -r 50m_raster/

NE1_50M_SR_W/ne1_50m.jpg: JPEG
NE1_50M_SR_W/ne1_50m.png: PNG
NE1_50M_SR_W/ne1_50m_20pct.tif: GTiff
NE1_50M_SR_W/ne1_50m_band1.tif: GTiff
NE1_50M_SR_W/ne1_50m_print.png: PNG
NE1_50M_SR_W/NE1_50M_SR_W.aux: HFA
NE1_50M_SR_W/NE1_50M_SR_W.tif: GTiff

NE1_50M_SR_W/ne1_50m_sub2.tif: GTiff.fi
.PP
 
.SS "Using copy mode"
Copy the raster data:
.PP
.PP
.nf
$ gdalmanage copy NE1_50M_SR_W.tif ne1_copy.tif
.fi
.PP
.SS "Using rename mode"
Rename raster data: 
.PP
.nf
$ gdalmanage rename NE1_50M_SR_W.tif ne1_rename.tif

.fi
.PP
.SS "Using delete mode"
Delete the raster data:
.PP
.PP
.nf
gdalmanage delete NE1_50M_SR_W.tif
