[gdal-dev] Re: Obtain more information with Ogrinfo

[Rahkonen Jukka]

Hi,
 
But -al (without -so, "summary only") is listing all the features of all the layers.  It just happens to be that shapefile always has only one layer.  Have a try with Mapinfo tab file or some database with lots of tables and you will notice that -al option does go through all the layers.

	This is not a really clear answer for Antonio's question: when I read this the first time, I thought this flag was meant to display information about more layers, not to get more information about one layer. Especially difficult when English is not your first language and you are not Finnish :-)

		Hi,
		
		What most users propably want to know about shapefiles first comes with

		Perhaps the manual page http://gdal.org/ogrinfo.html could give also this
