SYNOPSIS
Usage: gdalsrsinfo [options] srs_def
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)
Options:
[--help-general] [-h] Show help and exit
[-p] Pretty-print where applicable (e.g. WKT)
[-V] Validate SRS
[-o out_type] Output type { default, all, wkt_all, proj4,
wkt, wkt_simple, wkt_noct, wkt_esri,
mapinfo, xml }.fi
DESCRIPTION
The gdalsrsinfo utility reports information about a given SRS from one of the following:
o The filename of a dataset supported by GDAL/OGR which contains SRS information
o Any of the usual GDAL/OGR forms (complete WKT, PROJ.4, EPSG:n or a file containing the SRS)
Output types:
o default proj4 and wkt (default option)
o all all options available
o wkt_all all wkt options available
o proj4 PROJ.4 string
o wkt OGC WKT format (full)
o wkt_simple OGC WKT (simplified)
o wkt_noct OGC WKT (without OGC CT params)
o wkt_esri ESRI WKT format
o mapinfo Mapinfo style CoordSys format
o xml XML format (GML based)
