# listgeo(1)

dump geotiff metadata

## NAME

listgeo - dump geotiff metadata

## SYNOPSIS

**listgeo** \[-tfw\] \[-no\_norm\] \[-proj4\] \[-t *DIR*\] file

## DESCRIPTION

The program listgeo takes a GeoTIFF file as input and dumps to the standard output a GeoTIFF "metadata" file, which is human readable, and may also be used as input to other programs which use the "GTIFImport" routine, such as geotifcp.

## OPTIONS

listgeo accepts the following options:

- **-d**

  report lat/long corners in decimal degrees instead of DMS

- **-tfw**

  Generate a .tfw (ESRI TIFF World) file for the target file

- **-no-norm**

  Don't report 'normalized' parameter values

- **-proj4**

  Report PROJ.4 equivelent projection definition

- **-t *DIR***

  force to look in *DIR* for EPSG\_CVS files, overriding default behaviour
