gdalmanage (1)

Usage: gdalmanage mode [-r] [-u] [-f format]
                  datasetname [newdatasetname]

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.

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.fi

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
