.SH DESCRIPTION
.sp
\fBgdalinfo\fP program lists various information about a GDAL supported
raster dataset.
.sp
The following command line parameters can appear in any order
.INDENT 0.0
.TP
.B \-\-help
Show this help message and exit
.UNINDENT
.INDENT 0.0
.TP
.B \-\-help\-general
Gives a brief usage message for the generic GDAL commandline options and exit.
.UNINDENT
.INDENT 0.0
.TP
.B \-json
Display the output in json format. Since GDAL 3.6, this includes key\-value
pairs useful for building a \fI\%STAC item\fP
, including statistics and histograms if \fB\-stats\fP or \fB\-hist\fP flags are
passed, respectively.
.UNINDENT
.INDENT 0.0
.TP
.B \-mm
Force computation of the actual min/max values for each band in the
dataset.
.UNINDENT
.INDENT 0.0
.TP
.B \-stats
Read and display image statistics. Force computation if no
statistics are stored in an image.
.UNINDENT
.INDENT 0.0
.TP
.B \-approx_stats
Read and display image statistics. Force computation if no
statistics are stored in an image. However, they may be computed
based on overviews or a subset of all tiles. Useful if you are in a
hurry and don\(aqt want precise stats.
.UNINDENT
.INDENT 0.0
.TP
.B \-hist
Report histogram information for all bands.
.UNINDENT
.INDENT 0.0
.TP
.B \-nogcp
Suppress ground control points list printing. It may be useful for
datasets with huge amount of GCPs, such as L1B AVHRR or HDF4 MODIS
which contain thousands of them.
.UNINDENT
.INDENT 0.0
.TP
.B \-nomd
Suppress metadata printing. Some datasets may contain a lot of
metadata strings.
.UNINDENT
.INDENT 0.0
.TP
.B \-norat
Suppress printing of raster attribute table.
.UNINDENT
.INDENT 0.0
.TP
.B \-noct
Suppress printing of color table.
.UNINDENT
.INDENT 0.0
.TP
.B \-checksum
Force computation of the checksum for each band in the dataset.
.UNINDENT
.INDENT 0.0
.TP
.B \-listmdd
List all metadata domains available for the dataset.
.UNINDENT
.INDENT 0.0
.TP
.B \-mdd <domain>|all
adds metadata using:
.sp
\fBdomain\fP Report metadata for the specified domain.
.sp
\fBall\fP Report metadata for all domains.
.UNINDENT
.INDENT 0.0
.TP
.B \-nofl
Only display the first file of the file list.
.UNINDENT
.INDENT 0.0
.TP
.B \-wkt_format WKT1|WKT2|WKT2_2015|WKT2_2018
WKT format used to display the SRS.
Currently the supported values are:
.sp
\fBWKT1\fP
.sp
\fBWKT2\fP (latest WKT version, currently \fIWKT2_2018\fP)
.sp
\fBWKT2_2015\fP
.sp
\fBWKT2_2018\fP
.sp
New in version 3.0.0.

.UNINDENT
.INDENT 0.0
.TP
.B \-sd <n>
If the input dataset contains several subdatasets read and display
a subdataset with specified \fBn\fP number (starting from 1).
This is an alternative of giving the full subdataset name.
.UNINDENT
.INDENT 0.0
.TP
.B \-proj4
Report a PROJ.4 string corresponding to the file\(aqs coordinate system.
.UNINDENT
.INDENT 0.0
.TP
.B \-oo <NAME>=<VALUE>
Dataset open option (format specific).
.UNINDENT
.INDENT 0.0
.TP
.B \-if <format>
Format/driver name to be attempted to open the input file(s). It is generally
not necessary to specify it, but it can be used to skip automatic driver
detection, when it fails to select the appropriate driver.
This option can be repeated several times to specify several candidate drivers.
Note that it does not force those drivers to open the dataset. In particular,
some drivers have requirements on file extensions.
.sp
New in version 3.2.

.UNINDENT
.sp
The gdalinfo will report all of the following (if known):
.INDENT 0.0
.IP \(bu 2
The format driver used to access the file.
.IP \(bu 2
Raster size (in pixels and lines).
.IP \(bu 2
The coordinate system for the file (in OGC WKT).
.IP \(bu 2
The geotransform associated with the file (rotational coefficients
are currently not reported).
.IP \(bu 2
Corner coordinates in georeferenced, and if possible lat/long based
on the full geotransform (but not GCPs).
.IP \(bu 2
Ground control points.
.IP \(bu 2
File wide (including subdatasets) metadata.
.IP \(bu 2
Band data types.
.IP \(bu 2
Band color interpretations.
.IP \(bu 2

.IP \(bu 2
Band min/max values (internally known and possibly computed).
.IP \(bu 2
Band checksum (if computation asked).
.IP \(bu 2
Band NODATA value.
.IP \(bu 2
Band overview resolutions available.
.IP \(bu 2
Band unit type (i.e.. \(dqmeters\(dq or \(dqfeet\(dq for elevation bands).
.IP \(bu 2
Band pseudo\-color tables.
.UNINDENT
.SH C API
.sp
This utility is also callable from C with \fI\%GDALInfo()\fP\&.
