GDALSRSINFO(1) GDAL GDALSRSINFO(1) NAME gdalsrsinfo - Lists info about a given SRS in number of formats (WKT, PROJ.4, etc.) SYNOPSIS Usage: gdalsrsinfo [--help] [--help-general] [--single-line] [-V] [-e][-o <out_type>] <srs_def> DESCRIPTION The gdalsrsinfo utility reports information about a given SRS from one of the following: * The filename of a dataset supported by GDAL/OGR which contains SRS infor- mation * Any of the usual GDAL/OGR forms (complete WKT, PROJ.4, EPSG:n or a file containing the SRS) --help Show this help message and exit --help-general Gives a brief usage message for the generic GDAL commandline options and exit. --single-line Print WKT on single line -V Validate SRS -e Search for EPSG number(s) corresponding to SRS -o <out_type> Output types: * default: proj4 and wkt (default option) * all: all options available * wkt_all: all wkt options available * PROJJSON: PROJJSON string (GDAL >= 3.1 and PROJ >= 6.2) * proj4: PROJ.4 string * wkt1: OGC WKT format (full) * wkt_simple: OGC WKT 1 (simplified) * wkt_noct: OGC WKT 1 (without OGC CT params) * wkt_esri: ESRI WKT format * wkt: Latest WKT version supported, currently wkt2_2019 * wkt2: Latest WKT2 version supported, currently wkt2_2019 * wkt2_2015: OGC WKT2:2015 * wkt2_2019: OGC WKT2:2019 (for GDAL < 3.6, use wkt2_2018) * mapinfo: Mapinfo style CoordSys format * xml: XML format (GML based) <srs_def> may be the filename of a dataset supported by GDAL/OGR from which to extract SRS information OR any of the usual GDAL/OGR forms (complete WKT, PROJ.4, EPSG:n or a file containing the SRS) RETURN STATUS CODE The program returns status code 0 in case of success, and non-zero in case of error (non-blocking errors emitted as warnings are considered as a suc- cessful execution).
