8.7 gdalsrsinfo

The gdalsrsinfo utility is a simple reporting utility that provides information
about a given spatial reference system. It also validates a reference system when
the command line switch -V is set. You can enter the reference system explicitly
using one of the supported formats (see also Sect. 3.1 ) or you can let it be interpreted
implicitly by providing the filename of an existing geospatial dataset.

Usage: gdalsrsinfo [options] \myinline{srs_def} [-h]

[--help-general] [-p] [-V] [-o out_type]
