DESCRIPTION

       ogrtindex  program  can  be  used  to create a tileindex - a file containing a list of the
       identities of a bunch of other files along with their spatial extents. This  is  primarily
       intended  to  be  used  with MapServer for tiled access to layers using the OGR connection
       type.

       -lnum <n>
              Add layer number n from each source file in the tile index.

       -lname <name>
              Add the layer named name from each source file in the tile index.

       -f <output_format>
              Select an output format name. The default is to create a shapefile.

       -tileindex <field_name>
              The name to use for the dataset name. Defaults to LOCATION.

       -write_absolute_path
              Filenames are written with absolute paths

       -skip_different_projection
              Only layers with same projection ref as layers already inserted  in  the  tileindex
              will be inserted.

       -t_srs <target_srs>
              Extent  of  input  files  will  be  transformed  to  the  desired target coordinate
              reference system. Using this option generates files that are  not  compatible  with
              MapServer < 7.2. Default creates simple rectangular polygons in the same coordinate
              reference system as the input vector layers.

              New in version 2.2.0.

       -src_srs_name <field_name>
              The name of the field to store the SRS of each tile. This field name can be used as
              the value of the TILESRS keyword in MapServer >= 7.2.

              New in version 2.2.0.

       -src_srs_format <format>
              The  format  in which the SRS of each tile must be written.  Available formats are:
              AUTO, WKT, EPSG, PROJ.

              New in version 2.2.0.

       -accept_different_schemas
              By default ogrtindex checks that all layers inserted into the index have  the  same
              attribute schemas. If you specify this option, this test will be disabled. Be aware
              that resulting index may be incompatible with MapServer!

       If no -lnum or -lname arguments are given it is assumed that all layers in source datasets
       should be added to the tile index as independent records.

       If the tile index already exists it will be appended to, otherwise it will be created.

EXAMPLE

       This  example  would  create  a  shapefile  (tindex.shp)  containing  a  tile index of the
       BL2000_LINK layers in all the NTF files in the wrk directory:

          ogrtindex tindex.shp wrk/*.NTF 1069148.900,419873.100 1069147.500,419870.200
            1069146.400,419862.100 1069143.000,419860 1069142,419854.900
            1069138.600,419850 1069135,419848.800 1069134.100,419843
            1069130,419836.200 1069127.600,419824.600 1069123.800,419820.200
            1069126.900,419815.500 1069126.900,419808.200 1069116.500,419798.700
            1069117.600,419794.100 1069115.100,419796.300 1069109.100,419801.800
            1069106.800,419805.000  1069107.300)
