[Gdal-dev] "gdalinfo --formats" output

Hi list,

when using the command "gdalinfo --formats"
it returns a sequence of supported formats, as well as the specific driver
capabilities which are symbolized by some initials: (ro), (rw) and (rw+).

I think that (ro) means readonly while (rw) means read-write capabilities

If I'm right, what is the difference between (rw) and (rw+)?

The difference is related to Create and CreateCopy methods?

Thx a lot.

Best Regards,
Daniele
