<h1><a class="anchor" id="ogrinfo">ogrinfo </a></h1><p>lists information about an OGR supported data source</p>
Usage:
<div class="fragment"><pre class="fragment">
ogrinfo [-ro] [-q] [-where restricted_where]
[-spat xmin ymin xmax ymax] [-fid fid]
[-sql statement] [-al] [-so] [--formats]
datasource_name [layer [layer ...]]
</pre></div><p>The ogrinfo program lists various information about an OGR supported data source to stdout (the terminal).</p>
<dl>
<dt><b>-ro</b>:</dt>
<dd>Open the data source in read-only mode. </dd>
<dt><b>-al</b>:</dt>
<dd>List all features of all layers (used instead of having to give layer names as arguments). </dd>
<dt><b>-so</b>:</dt>
<dd>Summary Only: supress listing of features, show only the summary information like projection, schema, feature count and extents. </dd>
<dt><b>-q</b>:</dt>
<dd>Quiet verbose reporting of various information, including coordinate system, layer schema, extents, and feature count. </dd>
<dt><b>-where</b> <em>restricted_where</em>:</dt>
<dd>An attribute query in a restricted form of the queries used in the SQL WHERE statement. Only features matching the attribute query will be reported. </dd>
<dt><b>-sql</b> <em>statement</em>:</dt>
<dd>Execute the indicated statement and return the result. </dd>
<dt><b>-spat</b> <em>xmin ymin xmax ymax</em>:</dt>
<dd>The area of interest. Only features within the rectangle will be reported. </dd>
<dt><b>-fid</b> <em>fid</em>:</dt>
<dd>If provided, only the feature with this feature id will be reported. Operates exclusive of the spatial or attribute queries. </dd>
<dt><b>--formats</b>:</dt>
<dd>List the format drivers that are enabled. </dd>
<dt><em>datasource_name</em>:</dt>
<dd>The data source to open. May be a filename, directory or other virtual name. See the <a href="ogr_formats.html">OGR Vector Formats</a> list for supported datasources. </dd>
<dt><em>layer</em>:</dt>
<dd>One or more layer names may be reported. </dd>
</dl>
<p>If no layer names are passed then ogrinfo will report a list of available layers (and their layerwide geometry type). If layer name(s) are given then their extents, coordinate system, feature count, geometry type, schema and all features matching query parameters will be reported to the terminal. If no query parameters are provided, all features are reported.</p>
<p>Geometries are reported in OGC WKT format.</p>
<p>Example reporting all layers in an NTF file: </p>
<div class="fragment"><pre class="fragment">
