NAME

ogrinfo - ogrinfo lists information about an OGR supported data source

SYNOPSIS

ogrinfo [--help-general] [-ro] [-q] [-where restricted_where]
[-spat xmin ymin xmax ymax] [-geomfield field] [-fid fid]
[-sql statement] [-dialect dialect] [-al] [-so] [-fields={YES/NO}]
[-geom={YES/NO/SUMMARY}][--formats]
datasource_name [layer [layer ...]].fi

DESCRIPTION

The ogrinfo program lists various information about an OGR supported data source to stdout
(the terminal).

-ro:
Open the data source in read-only mode.

-al:
List all features of all layers (used instead of having to give layer names as
arguments).

-so:
Summary Only: suppress listing of features, show only the summary information like
projection, schema, feature count and extents.

-q:
Quiet verbose reporting of various information, including coordinate system, layer
schema, extents, and feature count.

-where restricted_where:
An attribute query in a restricted form of the queries used in the SQL WHERE
statement. Only features matching the attribute query will be reported.

-sql statement:
Execute the indicated SQL statement and return the result.

-dialect dialect:
SQL dialect. In some cases can be used to use (unoptimized) OGR SQL instead of the
native SQL of an RDBMS by passing OGRSQL. Starting with GDAL 1.10, the 'SQLITE'
dialect can also be used with any datasource.

-spat xmin ymin xmax ymax:
The area of interest. Only features within the rectangle will be reported.

-geomfield field:
(OGR >= 1.11) Name of the geometry field on which the spatial filter operates on.

-fid fid:
If provided, only the feature with this feature id will be reported. Operates
exclusive of the spatial or attribute queries. Note: if you want to select several
features based on their feature id, you can also use the fact the 'fid' is a special
field recognized by OGR SQL. So, '-where 'fid in (1,3,5)'' would select features 1, 3
and 5.

-fields={YES/NO}:
(starting with GDAL 1.6.0) If set to NO, the feature dump will not display field
values. Default value is YES.

-geom={YES/NO/SUMMARY}:
(starting with GDAL 1.6.0) If set to NO, the feature dump will not display the
geometry. If set to SUMMARY, only a summary of the geometry will be displayed. If set
to YES, the geometry will be reported in full OGC WKT format. Default value is YES.

--formats:
List the format drivers that are enabled.

datasource_name:
The data source to open. May be a filename, directory or other virtual name. See the
OGR Vector Formats list for supported datasources.

layer:
One or more layer names may be reported.

If no layer names are passed then ogrinfo will report a list of available layers (and
their layerwide geometry type). If layer name(s) are given then their extents, coordinate
system, feature count, geometry type, schema and all features matching query parameters
will be reported to the terminal. If no query parameters are provided, all features are
reported.

Geometries are reported in OGC WKT format.

EXAMPLE

Example reporting all layers in an NTF file:

% ogrinfo wrk/SHETLAND_ISLANDS.NTF
INFO: Open of `wrk/SHETLAND_ISLANDS.NTF'
using driver `UK .NTF' successful.
1: BL2000_LINK (Line String)
2: BL2000_POLY (None)
3: BL2000_COLLECTIONS (None)
4: FEATURE_CLASSES (None)

Example using an attribute query is used to restrict the output of the features in a
layer:

% ogrinfo -ro -where 'GLOBAL_LINK_ID=185878' wrk/SHETLAND_ISLANDS.NTF BL2000_LINK
INFO: Open of `wrk/SHETLAND_ISLANDS.NTF'
using driver `UK .NTF' successful.
