--help -
Show this help message and exit
-
--help-general -
Gives a brief usage message for the generic GDAL commandline options and exit.
-
-of <format> -
Select the output format. If not specified, the format is guessed from the extension. Use the short format name.
-
-b <band> -
Band to convert to RGB, defaults to 1.
-
-rgba -
Generate a RGBA file (instead of a RGB file by default).
-
-pct <palette_file> -
Extract the color table from <palette_file> instead of getting it from <source_file>. Can be used to have a consistent color table for multiple files. The <palette_file> must be either a raster file in a GDAL supported format with a palette or a color file in a supported format (txt, qml, qlr).
<source_file>-
The input file.
<dest_file>-
The output RGB file that will be created.
The '-expand rgb|rgba' option of gdal_translate obsoletes that utility.
Return status code
The program returns status code 0 in case of success, and non-zero in case of error (non-blocking errors emitted as warnings are considered as a successful execution).
