LISTGEO(1)

💖 LISTGEO 💖

okay bestie, gather round, because we're about to talk about listgeo — a lil libgeotiff manual page, and honestly? she ate. she dumps geotiff metadata. that's the whole gig. iconic behavior fr fr 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

listgeo — dump geotiff metadata 🦋

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

listgeo [-tfw] [-no_norm] [-proj4] [-t DIR] file

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

so basically listgeo takes a GeoTIFF file as input (that's the file argument, bestie, she needs it) and dumps a GeoTIFF "metadata" file straight to standard output. and the way that this metadata file is human readable?? obsessed. like you can literally just read it with your own eyeballs.

but wait, there's more 💖 — that same metadata output can also be used as input to other programs that use the GTIFImport routine, like geotifcp. so it's giving dual-purpose main character energy. it's a report AND a snack for other tools. periodt.

✨ OPTIONS ✨

listgeo accepts the following options, and yes we're going through every single one, no skipping, iykyk:

• -d — report lat/long corners in decimal degrees instead of DMS. so if DMS is giving "degrees minutes seconds" and you're like... girl, just give me a number, this one's for you 🫶
• -tfw — generate a .tfw (ESRI TIFF World) file for the target file. side quest unlocked ✨
• -no-norm — don't report 'normalized' parameter values. she'll show you the raw un-normalized ones instead, no glow-up applied 💅
• -proj4 — report the PROJ.4 equivalent projection definition. for when you need to speak fluent PROJ.4, ngl 🔥
• -t DIR — force her to look in DIR for EPSG_CVS files, overriding the default behaviour. like "no babe, look here, not there" 💖

🌈 OTHER INFO 🌈

this program is distributed with the libgeotiff software 🦋. the home page lives at https://trac.osgeo.org/geotiff/ — over there you'll find links about other related projects, so go be nosy, it's encouraged.

there's also a mailing list about libgeotiff development that is currently active at geotiff@lists.maptools.org. so if you wanna talk libgeotiff with the girlies, you know where to pull up 🌸
