-f format
(from GDAL 2.0) The OGR format of the output tile index file. Default is ESRI
Shapefile.
-tileindex field_name
The output field name to hold the file path/location to the indexed rasters. The
default tile index field name is location.
-write_absolute_path
The absolute path to the raster files is stored in the tile index file. By default
the raster filenames will be put in the file exactly as they are specified on the
command line.
-skip_different_projection
Only files with same projection as files already inserted in the tileindex will be
inserted (unless -t_srs is specified). Default does not check projection and accepts
all inputs.
-t_srs target_srs
Geometries of input files will be transformed to the desired target coordinate
reference system. Using this option generates files that are not compatible with
MapServer < 6.4. Default creates simple rectangular polygons in the same
coordinate reference system as the input rasters.
-src_srs_name field_name
(from GDAL 2.0) 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 (from
version 6.4).
-src_srs_format type
(from GDAL 2.0) The format in which the SRS of each tile must be written.
Types can be AUTO, WKT, EPSG, PROJ.
-lyr_name name
Layer name to create/append to in the output tile index file.
index_file
The name of the output file to create/append to. The default Shapefile will be
created if it doesn't already exist, otherwise it will append to the existing file.
gdal_file
The input GDAL raster files, can be multiple files separated by spaces. Wildcards
my also be used. Stores the file locations in the same style as specified here,
unless -write_absolute_path option is also used.
