NAME
gdalsrsinfoLists info about a given SRS in number of formats (WKT, PROJ.4, etc.)
SYNOPSIS
Usage: gdalsrsinfo [options] srs_def
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)
Options:
[--help-general] [-h] Show help 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 type { default, all, wkt_all, proj4,
wkt, wkt_simple, wkt_noct, wkt_esri,
wkt2_2015, wkt2_2018, mapinfo, xml }.fi
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 information
• Any of the usual GDAL/OGR forms (complete WKT, PROJ.4, EPSG:n or a file containing the SRS)
Output types:
• default proj4 and wkt (default option)
• all all options available
• wkt_all all wkt options available
• 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_2018
• wkt2 Latest WKT2 version supported, currently wkt2_2018
• wkt2_2015 OGC WKT2:2015
• wkt2_2018 OGC WKT2:2018
• mapinfo Mapinfo style CoordSys format
• xml XML format (GML based)
