<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Hi,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial> Is it possible to read geotiff data from
standard input(STDIN) and write to standard output (STDOUT) instead of
reading from a file? I see the following in the documentation to
GDALOpen():</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><TD valign="top"><EM>pszFilename</EM> </TD><TD>the name of the file to
access. In the case of exotic drivers this may not refer to a physical file, but
instead contain information for the driver on how to access a dataset.</DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>What options does Geotiff driver have for
pszFilename? If I want to modify Geotiff driver to read and write from STDIN and
STDOUT respectively, which files should I be looking at? </FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Ability to do this might be useful if using
GDAL in a Hadoop MapReduce job with streaming. Geotiff format could be
the serialization format that MapReduce expects. If it is not already there, it
might be useful to add this feature. It could make it a bit easier to use
GDAL within a Cloud environment. Thanks.</FONT></DIV>
