NAME
       gdal_proximity -	Produces a raster proximity map.

SYNOPSIS
	  gdal_proximity [--help] [--help-general]
			    <srcfile> <dstfile>	[-srcband <n>] [-dstband <n>]
			    [-of <format>] [-co	<name>=<value>]...
			    [-ot Byte/UInt16/UInt32/Float32/etc]
			    [-values <n>,<n>,<n>] [-distunits {PIXEL|GEO}]
			    [-maxdist <n>] [-nodata <n>] [-use_input_nodata {YES|NO}]
			    [-fixed-buf-val <n>]

DESCRIPTION
       gdal_proximity generates	a raster proximity map indicating the distance
       from  the center	of each	pixel to the center of the nearest pixel iden-
       tified as a target pixel.  Target pixels	are those in the source	raster
       for which the raster pixel value	is in the set of target	pixel values.

       NOTE:
	  gdal_proximity is a Python utility, and is only  available  if  GDAL
	  Python bindings are available.

       --help Show this	help message and exit

       --help-general
	      Gives a brief usage message for the generic GDAL commandline op-
	      tions and	exit.

       <srcfile>
	      The source raster	file used to identify target pixels.

       <dstfile>
	      The  destination	raster file to which the proximity map will be
	      written.	It may be a pre-existing file of the same size as src-
	      file.  If	it does	not exist it will be created.

       -srcband	<n>
	      Identifies the band in the source	file to	use (default is	1).

       -dstband	<n>
	      Identifies the band in the destination file to use  (default  is
	      1).

       -of <format>
	      Select  the output format. Starting with GDAL 2.3, if not	speci-
	      fied, the	format is guessed from the extension  (previously  was
	      GTiff). Use the short format name.

       -co <NAME>=<VALUE>
	      Many formats have	one or more optional creation options that can
	      be  used	to control particulars about the file created. For in-
	      stance, the GeoTIFF driver supports creation options to  control
	      compression, and whether the file	should be tiled.

	      The  creation  options available vary by format driver, and some
	      simple formats have no creation options at all. A	 list  of  op-
	      tions  supported	for  a format can be listed with the --formats
	      command line option but the documentation	for the	format is  the
	      definitive  source  of  information  on driver creation options.
	      See Raster drivers format	specific documentation for legal  cre-
	      ation options for	each format.

       -ot <type>
	      Specify a	data type supported by the driver, which may be	one of
	      the  following: Byte, UInt16, Int16, UInt32, Int32, Float32 (de-
	      fault), or Float64.

       -values <n>,<n>,<n>
	      A	list of	target pixel values in the source image	to be  consid-
	      ered  target  pixels. If not specified, all non-zero pixels will
	      be considered target pixels.

       -distunits {PIXEL|GEO}
	      Indicate whether distances generated should be in	pixel or  geo-
	      referenced coordinates (default PIXEL).

       -maxdist	<n>
	      The  maximum  distance to	be generated. The nodata value will be
	      used for pixels beyond this distance. If a nodata	value  is  not
	      provided,	 the output band will be queried for its nodata	value.
	      If the output band does not have a nodata	value, then the	 value
	      65535  will  be  used.  Distance is interpreted in pixels	unless
	      -distunits GEO is	specified.

       -nodata <n>
	      Specify a	nodata value to	 use  for  the	destination  proximity
	      raster.

       -use_input_nodata {YES|NO}
	      Indicate whether nodata pixels in	the input raster should	be no-
	      data in the output raster	(default NO).

       -fixed-buf-val <n>
	      Specify  a value to be applied to	all pixels that	are within the
	      -maxdist of target pixels	(including the target pixels)  instead
	      of a distance value.
