Interface to GDAL's gdalinfo utility

Description

This function provides an interface mirroring that of the GDAL command-line app gdalinfo. For a description of the utility and the arguments that it takes, see the documentation at https://gdal.org/programs/gdalinfo.html.

Usage

gdalinfo(
  datasetname,
  ...,
  json,
  mm,
  stats,
  approx_stats,
  hist,
  nogcp,
  nomd,
  norat,
  noct,
  nofl,
  checksum,
  proj4,
  listmdd,
  mdd,
  wkt_format,
  sd,
  oo,
  IF,
  dryrun = FALSE,
  config_options = character(0),
  quiet = FALSE
)

Arguments

datasetname	Path to a GDAL-supported readable datasource.
...	Here, a placeholder argument that forces users to supply exact names of all subsequent formal arguments.
json, mm, stats, approx_stats, hist, nogcp, nomd, norat, noct	See the GDAL project's gdalinfo documentation for details.
nofl, checksum, proj4, listmdd, mdd, wkt_format, sd, oo, IF	See the GDAL project's gdalinfo documentation for details.
dryrun	Logical (default FALSE). If TRUE, instead of executing the requested call to GDAL, the function will print the command-line call that would produce the equivalent output.
config_options	A named character vector with GDAL config options, of the form c(option1=value1, option2=value2). (See here for a complete list of supported config options.)
quiet	Logical (default FALSE). If TRUE, suppress printing of output to the console.

Value

Silently returns a character vector containing the information returned by the gdalinfo utility.
