       ogr_utilities - OGR Utility Programs A collection of OGR related programs.

       The following utilities are distributed as part of the OGR Simple Features toolkit:

       • ogrinfo - Lists information about an OGR supported data source
       • ogr2ogr - Converts simple features data between file formats
       • ogrtindex - Creates a tileindex
       • ogrlineref - Create linear reference and provide some calculations using it
       • ogrmerge - Merge several vector datasets into a single one

General Command Line Switches

       All GDAL OGR command line utility programs support the following 'general' options.
       --version
           Report the version of GDAL and exit.
       --formats
           List  all vector formats supported by this GDAL build (read-only and read-write) and exit. The format
           support is indicated as follows: 'ro' is read-only driver; 'rw'  is  read  or  write  (i.e.  supports
           CreateCopy);  'rw+'  is  read, write and update (i.e. supports Create). A 'v' is appended for formats
           supporting virtual IO (/vsimem, /vsigzip, /vsizip, etc). A 's' is  appended  for  formats  supporting
           subdatasets.
       --format format
           List  detailed information about a single format driver. The format should be the short name reported
           in the --formats list, such as GML.
       --optfile file
           Read the named file and substitute the contents into the command line options list.  Lines  beginning
           with # will be ignored. Multi-word arguments may be kept together with double quotes.
       --config key value
           Sets  the  named  configuration keyword to the given value, as opposed to setting them as environment
           variables. Some common configuration keywords are SHAPE_ENCODING (force shapefile driver to read  DBF
           files  with  the  given character encoding) and CPL_TEMPDIR (define the location of temporary files).
           Individual drivers may be influenced by other configuration options.
       --debug value
           Control what debugging messages are emitted. A value of ON will enable all debug messages. A value of
           OFF will disable all debug messages. Another value will select only debug  messages  containing  that
           string in the debug prefix code.
       --help-general
           Gives a brief usage message for the generic GDAL OGR command line options and exit.
