NAME

gdalsrsinfo − Lists info about a given SRS in number of formats (WKT, PROJ.4, etc.)

SYNOPSIS

Usage: gdalsrsinfo [−−help] [−−help−general]
                   [−−single−line] [−V] [−e][−o <out_type>] <srs_def>

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)

−−help

Show this help message and exit

−−help−general

Gives a brief usage message for the generic GDAL commandline options 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 types:

default: proj4 and wkt (default option)

all: all options available

wkt_all: all wkt options available

PROJJSON: PROJJSON string (GDAL >= 3.1 and PROJ >= 6.2)

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_2019

wkt2: Latest WKT2 version supported, currently wkt2_2019

wkt2_2015: OGC WKT2:2015

wkt2_2019: OGC WKT2:2019 (for GDAL < 3.6, use wkt2_2018)

mapinfo: Mapinfo style CoordSys format

xml: XML format (GML based)

<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)
