.SH DESCRIPTION
.sp
\fBgdal raster info\fP lists various information about a GDAL supported
raster dataset, and returns them on the standard output stream when used from the
command line, or in the \fBoutput\fP parameter when used from the API.
.sp
The following items will be reported (when known):
.INDENT 0.0
.IP \(bu 2
The format driver used to access the file.
.IP \(bu 2
Raster size (in pixels and lines).
.IP \(bu 2
The coordinate system for the file (in short form AUTH_NAME:CODE when possible, or otherwise OGC WKT2:2019).
.IP \(bu 2
The geotransform associated with the file (rotational coefficients
are currently not reported).
.IP \(bu 2
Corner coordinates in georeferenced, and if possible lat/long based
on the full geotransform (but not GCPs).
.IP \(bu 2
Ground control points.
.IP \(bu 2
File wide (including subdatasets) metadata.
.IP \(bu 2
Band data types.
.IP \(bu 2
Band color interpretations.
.IP \(bu 2
Band block size.
.IP \(bu 2
Band descriptions.
.IP \(bu 2
Band min/max values (internally known and possibly computed).
.IP \(bu 2
Band checksum (if computation asked).
.IP \(bu 2
Band NODATA value.
.IP \(bu 2
Band overview resolutions available.
.IP \(bu 2
Band unit type (i.e.. \(dqmeters\(dq or \(dqfeet\(dq for elevation bands).
.IP \(bu 2
Band pseudo\-color tables.
.UNINDENT
.sp
Starting with GDAL 3.12, \fBgdal raster info\fP can be used as the last
step of a pipeline.
.sp
The following options are available:
.SH PROGRAM-SPECIFIC OPTIONS
.INDENT 0.0
.TP
.B \-\-approx\-stats
Read and display image statistics. Force computation if no
statistics are stored in an image. However, they may be computed
based on overviews or a subset of all tiles. Useful if you are in a
hurry and don\(aqt need precise stats.
.UNINDENT
.INDENT 0.0
.TP
.B \-\-checksum
Force computation of the checksum for each band in the dataset.
.UNINDENT
.INDENT 0.0
.TP
.B \-f, \-\-of, \-\-format, \-\-output\-format json|text
Which output format to use. Default is JSON, and starting with GDAL 3.12,
text when invoked from command line.
.UNINDENT
.INDENT 0.0
.TP
.B \-\-crs\-format AUTO|WKT2|PROJJSON
Added in version 3.13.

.sp
Which format to use to report the CRS. In AUTO default mode, if the CRS
can be captured with an authority name and code (known of PROJ), only
a summary of the CRS, including its name, ID, type and area of use will be
reported. Otherwise a full WKT2:2019 definition will be reported.
.sp
\fBNOTE:\fP
.INDENT 7.0
.INDENT 3.5
\fI\%\-\-crs\-format\fP can only be set when \fI\%\-\-output\-format\fP
is set to \fBtext\fP\&.  The JSON text format includes both WKT2 and PROJJSON.
.UNINDENT
.UNINDENT
.UNINDENT
.INDENT 0.0
.TP
.B \-\-hist
Report histogram information for all bands.
.UNINDENT
.INDENT 0.0
.TP
.B \-\-list\-mdd
List all metadata domains available for the dataset.
.UNINDENT
.INDENT 0.0
.TP
.B \-\-mdd, \-\-metadata\-domain <domain>|all
adds metadata using:
.sp
\fBdomain\fP Report metadata for the specified domain.
.sp
\fBall\fP Report metadata for all domains.
.UNINDENT
.INDENT 0.0
.TP
.B \-\-mm, \-\-min\-max
Force computation of the actual min/max values for each band in the
dataset.
.UNINDENT
.INDENT 0.0
.TP
.B \-\-no\-ct
Suppress printing of color table.
.UNINDENT
.INDENT 0.0
.TP
.B \-\-no\-fl
Only display the first file of the file list.
.UNINDENT
.INDENT 0.0
.TP
.B \-\-no\-gcp
Suppress ground control points list printing. It may be useful for
datasets with huge amount of GCPs, such as L1B AVHRR or HDF4 MODIS
which contain thousands of them.
.UNINDENT
.INDENT 0.0
.TP
.B \-\-no\-mask
Suppress band mask printing. Is implied if \fI\%\-\-no\-nodata\fP is specified.
.UNINDENT
.INDENT 0.0
.TP
.B \-\-no\-md
Suppress metadata printing. Some datasets may contain a lot of
metadata strings.
.UNINDENT
.INDENT 0.0
.TP
.B \-\-no\-nodata
Suppress nodata printing. Implies \fI\%\-\-no\-mask\fP\&.
.sp
Can be useful for example when querying a remove GRIB2 dataset that has an
index .idx side\-car file, together with \fI\%\-\-no\-md\fP
.UNINDENT
.INDENT 0.0
.TP
.B \-\-stats
Read and display image statistics. Force computation if no
statistics are stored in an image.
.UNINDENT
.INDENT 0.0
.TP
.B \-\-subdataset <n>
If the input dataset contains several subdatasets read and display
a subdataset with specified \fBn\fP number (starting from 1).
This is an alternative of giving the full subdataset name.
.UNINDENT
.SH STANDARD OPTIONS
.INDENT 0.0
.TP
.B \-\-if, \-\-input\-format <format>
Format/driver name to be attempted to open the input file(s). It is generally
not necessary to specify it, but it can be used to skip automatic driver
detection, when it fails to select the appropriate driver.
This option can be repeated several times to specify several candidate drivers.
Note that it does not force those drivers to open the dataset. In particular,
some drivers have requirements on file extensions.
.sp
May be repeated.
.UNINDENT
.INDENT 0.0
.TP
.B \-\-oo, \-\-open\-option <NAME>=<VALUE>
Dataset open option (format specific).
.sp
May be repeated.
.UNINDENT
.SH RETURN STATUS CODE
.sp
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 successful
execution).
