gdaltindex --help (return code: 1)
Usage: gdaltindex [-f format] [-tileindex field_name] [-write_absolute_path]
[-skip_different_projection] [-t_srs target_srs]
[-src_srs_name field_name] [-src_srs_format [AUTO|WKT|EPSG|PROJ]
[-lyr_name name] index_file [gdal_file]*
e.g.
% gdaltindex doq_index.shp doq/*.tif
NOTES:
o The shapefile (index_file) will be created if it doesn't already exist.
o The default tile index field is 'location'.
o Raster filenames will be put in the file exactly as they are specified
on the commandline unless the option -write_absolute_path is used.
o If -skip_different_projection is specified, only files with same projection ref
as files already inserted in the tileindex will be inserted (unless t_srs is specified).
o If -t_srs is specified, geometries of input files will be transformed to the desired
target coordinate reference system.
Note that using this option generates files that are NOT compatible with MapServer < 6.4.
o Simple rectangular polygons are generated in the same coordinate reference system
as the rasters, or in target reference system if the -t_srs option is used.
