[pdal] Compare/update metadata in a las file?

[Mats Högström]

Greetings,

I just started using pdal and have a very basic question. How does pdal report metadata, and can it be updated? I want to do the same things you can do with LAStools/lasinfo:

> "Reports the contents of the header and a short summary of the
>   points. Warns when there is a difference between the header
>   information and the point content. When run with option '-cd'
>   or '-compute_density', lasinfo will compute the point density.
> 
>   All differences can be repaired with the '-repair' option. The
>   option '-repair_bb' will only repair (or tighten) the bounding
>   box while '-repair_counters' will only repair wrong reported
>   number of points.”

Is this possible with pdal?

Best regards.
