gdalmanage - Man Page
Identify, delete, rename and copy raster data files.
Synopsis
Usage: gdalmanage [--help] [--help-general]
<mode> [-r] [-u] [-f <format>]
<datasetname> [<newdatasetname>]Description
The gdalmanage program can perform various operations on raster data files, depending on the chosen mode. This includes identifying raster data types and deleting, renaming or copying the files.
- <mode>
Mode of operation
- identify <datasetname>:
List data format of file.
- copy <datasetname> <newdatasetname>:
Create a copy of the raster file with a new name.
- rename <datasetname> <newdatasetname>:
Change the name of the raster file.
- delete <datasetname>:
Delete raster file.
- -r
Recursively scan files/folders for raster files.
- -u
Report failures if file type is unidentified.
- -f <format>
Specify format of raster file if unknown by the application. Uses short data format name (e.g. GTiff).
- <datasetname>
Raster file to operate on.
- <newdatasetname>
For copy and rename modes, you provide a source filename and a target filename, just like copy and move commands in an operating system.
Examples
Using identify mode
Report the data format of the raster file by using the identify mode and specifying a data file name:
$ gdalmanage identify NE1_50M_SR_W.tif NE1_50M_SR_W.tif: GTiff
Recursive mode will scan subfolders and report the data format:
$ gdalmanage identify -r 50m_raster/ NE1_50M_SR_W/ne1_50m.jpg: JPEG NE1_50M_SR_W/ne1_50m.png: PNG NE1_50M_SR_W/ne1_50m_20pct.tif: GTiff NE1_50M_SR_W/ne1_50m_band1.tif: GTiff NE1_50M_SR_W/ne1_50m_print.png: PNG NE1_50M_SR_W/NE1_50M_SR_W.aux: HFA NE1_50M_SR_W/NE1_50M_SR_W.tif: GTiff NE1_50M_SR_W/ne1_50m_sub.tif: GTiff NE1_50M_SR_W/ne1_50m_sub2.tif: GTiff
Using copy mode
Copy the raster data:
$ gdalmanage copy NE1_50M_SR_W.tif ne1_copy.tif
Using rename mode
Rename raster data:
$ gdalmanage rename NE1_50M_SR_W.tif ne1_rename.tif
Using delete mode
Delete the raster data:
gdalmanage delete NE1_50M_SR_W.tif
