.SH DESCRIPTION
.sp
The \fBgdalmanage\fP program can perform various operations on dataset
files, depending on the chosen \fImode\fP\&. This includes identifying dataset
types and deleting, renaming or copying the files.
.INDENT 0.0
.TP
.B <mode>
Mode of operation
.INDENT 7.0
.TP
\fBidentify\fP \fI<datasetname>\fP:
List data format of file(s).
.TP
\fBcopy\fP \fI<datasetname>\fP \fI<newdatasetname>\fP:
Create a copy of the dataset file with a new name.
.TP
\fBrename\fP \fI<datasetname>\fP \fI<newdatasetname>\fP:
Change the name of the dataset file.
.TP
\fBdelete\fP \fI<datasetname>\fP:
Delete dataset file(s).
.UNINDENT
.UNINDENT
.INDENT 0.0
.TP
.B \-r
Recursively scan files/folders for dataset files.
.UNINDENT
.INDENT 0.0
.TP
.B \-fr
Recursively scan folders for dataset files, forcing recursion in folders recognized as valid formats.
.UNINDENT
.INDENT 0.0
.TP
.B \-u
Report failures if file type is unidentified.
.UNINDENT
.INDENT 0.0
.TP
.B \-f <format>
Specify format of dataset file if unknown by the application. Uses
short data format name (e.g. \fIGTiff\fP).
.UNINDENT
.INDENT 0.0
.TP
.B <datasetname>
Raster file to operate on. With \fBidentify\fP may be repeated for multiple files.
.UNINDENT
.INDENT 0.0
.TP
.B <newdatasetname>
For copy and rename modes, you provide a \fIsource\fP filename and a
\fItarget\fP filename, just like copy and move commands in an operating
system.
