-approx_stats
Read and display image statistics. Force computation if no statistics are stored in
an image. However, they may be computed based on overviews or a subset of all
tiles. Useful if you are in a hurry and don't want precise stats.
-hist
Report histogram information for all bands.
-nogcp
Suppress ground control points list printing.
-nomd
Suppress metadata printing. Some datasets may contain a lot of metadata strings.
-nrat
Suppress printing of raster attribute table.
-noct
Suppress printing of color table.
-checksum
Force computation of the checksum for each band in the dataset.
-mdd domain
Report metadata for the specified domain.
-nofl
Only display the first file of the file list.
-sd subdataset
If the input dataset contains several subdatasets read and display a subdataset
with specified number (starting from 1). This is an alternative of giving the full
subdataset name.
-proj4
Report a PROJ.4 string corresponding to the file's coordinate system.
As an example, we run gdalinfo on a Landsat 8 image (see Sect. 17.1 ) and go
through the different lines of output.
gdalinfo LC82070232013160LGN00.tif
Driver: GTiff/GeoTIFF
Files: LC82070232013160LGN00.tif
Size is 7801, 7571
The first line shows the driver used to access the file. Both the short (GTiff) and
long name (GeoTIFF) are listed. This is followed by the name of the image file.
Some file formats supported by GDAL can contain multiple data sets, such as the
hierarchical data format (HDF), netCDF, the national imagery transmission format
(NITF) or virtual files (see Chap. 11 ) . The current raster file format, GeoTIFF, only
