🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

so… there's literally no synopsis here. like, nothing. empty. the original page just moves straight on past it like it's not even there, and honestly? respect. no notes. 🦋

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

Geo::GDAL::FFI::Object is the base class for Driver, Dataset, Band, and Layer. so when you're vibing with any of those four, you're secretly vibing with this one too. it's the mom friend of the class hierarchy. 🫶
