[-p] Pretty-print where applicable (e.g. WKT)
[-V] Validate SRS
[-e] Search for EPSG number(s) corresponding to SRS
[-o out_type] Output type { default, all, wkt_all, proj4,
wkt, wkt_simple, wkt_noct, wkt_esri,
mapinfo, xml }.fi

The gdalsrsinfo utility reports information about a given SRS from one of the following:

  • The filename of a dataset supported by GDAL/OGR which contains SRS information
  • Any of the usual GDAL/OGR forms (complete WKT, PROJ.4, EPSG:n or a file containing the SRS)

Output types:

  • default proj4 and wkt (default option)
  • all all options available
  • wkt_all all wkt options available
  • proj4 PROJ.4 string
  • wkt OGC WKT format (full)
  • wkt_simple OGC WKT (simplified)
  • wkt_noct OGC WKT (without OGC CT params)
  • wkt_esri ESRI WKT format
