DESCRIPTION
       This  utility will retile a set of input	tile(s). All the input tile(s)
       must be georeferenced in	the same coordinate system and have a matching
       number of bands.	 The geotransform matrix of input tiles	must not  con-
       tain rotation terms.

       Optionally  pyramid levels are generated. All pyramid levels are	gener-
       ated from the input tiles (not from previous levels).

       It is possible to generate shape	file(s)	for the	tiled output.

       If your number of input tiles exhausts the command line buffer, use the
       general --optfile option

       NOTE:
	  gdal_retile 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.

       -targetDir <directory>
	      The  directory  where  the  tile result is created. Pyramids are
	      stored in	 sub-directories   numbered   from   1.	 Created  tile
	      names have a numbering schema and	contain	the name of the	source
	      tiles(s)

       -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>
	      Force  the  output image bands to	have a specific	data type sup-
	      ported by	the driver, which may be one of	the  following:	 Byte,
	      Int8,  UInt16,  Int16,  UInt32,  Int32,  UInt64, Int64, Float32,
	      Float64, CInt16, CInt32, CFloat32	or CFloat64.

       -ps <pixelsize_x> <pixelsize_y>
	      Pixel size to be used for	the output file.   If  not  specified,
	      256 x 256	is the default

       -overlap	<val_in_pixel>
	      Overlap in pixels	between	consecutive tiles. If not specified, 0
	      is the default

	      New in version 2.2.

       -levels <numberOfLevels>
	      Number of	pyramids levels	to build.

       -v     Generate verbose output of tile operations as they are done.

       -pyramidOnly
	      No retiling, build only the pyramids

       -r <algorithm>
	      Resampling algorithm, default is near

       -s_srs <srs_def>
	      Source  spatial  reference  to use. The coordinate systems  that
	      can  be passed  are  anything  supported by the OGRSpatialRefer-
	      ence.SetFromUserInput()  call, which  includes  EPSG,  PCS,  and
	      GCSes  (i.e.  EPSG:4296),	PROJ.4 declarations (as	above),	or the
	      name of a	.prj file containing well known	text.  If  no  srs_def
	      is  given,  the srs_def  of the source tiles is used  (if	 there
	      is  any).	  The  srs_def will be propagated to created tiles (if
	      possible)	and  to	 the  optional shape file(s)

       -tileIndex <tileIndexName>
	      The name of shape	file containing	the result tile(s) index

       -tileIndexField <tileIndexFieldName>
	      The name of the attribute	containing the tile name

       -csv <csvFileName>
	      The name of the csv file containing the  tile(s)	georeferencing
	      information.     The    file    contains	  5   columns:	 tile-
	      name,minx,maxx,miny,maxy

       -csvDelim <column delimiter>
	      The column delimiter used	in the CSV file, default  value	 is  a
	      semicolon	";"

       -useDirForEachRow
	      Normally	the tiles of the base image are	stored as described in
	      -targetDir.  For large images, some file	systems	 have  perfor-
	      mance problems if	the number of files in a directory is too big,
	      causing  gdal_retile  not	 to  finish in reasonable time.	 Using
	      this parameter creates a different output	structure.  The	 tiles
	      of  the  base  image are stored in a sub-directory called	0, the
	      pyramids in sub-directories numbered 1,2,....   Within  each  of
	      these  directories  another level	of sub-directories is created,
	      numbered from 0...n, depending of	how many tile rows are	needed
	      for each level. Finally, a directory contains only the tiles for
	      one row for a specific level. For	large images a performance im-
	      provement	of a factor N could be achieved.

       -resume
	      Resume mode. Generate only missing files.
