· ogrtindex - Creates a tileindex
· ogrlineref - Create linear reference and provide some calculations

· ogrmerge - Merge several vector datasets into a single one
General Command Line Switches
All GDAL OGR command line utility programs support the following
'general' options.
--version
Report the version of GDAL and exit.
--formats
List all vector formats supported by this GDAL build (read-only and
read-write) and exit. The format support is indicated as follows:
'ro' is read-only driver; 'rw' is read or write (i.e. supports
CreateCopy); 'rw+' is read, write and update (i.e. supports
Create). A 'v' is appended for formats supporting virtual IO
(/vsimem, /vsigzip, /vsizip, etc). A 's' is appended for formats
supporting subdatasets.
--format format
List detailed information about a single format driver. The format
should be the short name reported in the --formats list, such as
GML.
--optfile file
Read the named file and substitute the contents into the command
line options list. Lines beginning with # will be ignored. Multi-
word arguments may be kept together with double quotes.
--config key value
Sets the named configuration keyword to the given value, as opposed
to setting them as environment variables. Some common configuration
keywords are SHAPE_ENCODING (force shapefile driver to read DBF
files with the given character encoding) and CPL_TEMPDIR (define
the location of temporary files). Individual drivers may be
influenced by other configuration options.
--debug value
Control what debugging messages are emitted. A value of ON will
enable all debug messages. A value of OFF will disable all debug
messages. Another value will select only debug messages containing
that string in the debug prefix code.
--help-general
Gives a brief usage message for the generic GDAL OGR command line
options and exit.
