ogrtindex  program  can  be  used to create a tileindex - a file containing a list of the identities of a
       bunch of other files along with their spatial extents.  This  is  primarily  intended  to  be  used  with
       MapServer for tiled access to layers using the OGR connection type.

       --help Show this help message and exit

       --help-general
              Gives a brief usage message for the generic GDAL commandline options and exit.

       -lnum<n>
              Add layer number n from each source file in the tile index.

       -lname<name>
              Add the layer named name from each source file in the tile index.

       -f<output_format>
              Select an output format name. The default is to create a shapefile.

       -tileindex<field_name>
              The name to use for the dataset name. Defaults to LOCATION.

       -write_absolute_path
              Filenames are written with absolute paths

       -skip_different_projection
              Only layers with same projection ref as layers already inserted in the tileindex will be inserted.

       -t_srs<target_srs>
              Extent of input files will be transformed to the desired target coordinate reference system. Using
              this  option  generates files that are not compatible with MapServer < 7.2. Default creates simple
              rectangular polygons in the same coordinate reference system as the input vector layers.

              New in version 2.2.0.

       -src_srs_name<field_name>
              The name of the field to store the SRS of each tile. This field name can be used as the  value  of
              the TILESRS keyword in MapServer >= 7.2.

              New in version 2.2.0.

       -src_srs_format{AUTO|WKT|EPSG|PROJ}
              The format in which the SRS of each tile must be written.  Available formats are: AUTO, WKT, EPSG,
              PROJ.

              New in version 2.2.0.

       -accept_different_schemas
              By  default  ogrtindex  checks  that  all  layers  inserted into the index have the same attribute
              schemas. If you specify this option, this test will be disabled. Be aware that resulting index may
              be incompatible with MapServer!

       If no -lnum or -lname arguments are given it is assumed that all layers  in  source  datasets  should  be
       added to the tile index as independent records.

       If the tile index already exists it will be appended to, otherwise it will be created.

       This  example  would create a shapefile (tindex.shp) containing a tile index of the BL2000_LINK layers in
       all the NTF files in the wrk directory:

          ogrtindex tindex.shp wrk/*.NTF
