GeoDesk is in Early Access. Some commands and options are not yet available in Version 0.2.1.
Thismarks the targeted version.
Common Options
-a, --area=<FILE>
Defines the area to which the command should be applied. Currently, only polygon files are supported.
-b, --bbox=<W>,<S>,<E>,<N>
Defines the rectangular area (bounding box) to which the command should be applied. Coordinates are specified in WGS-84 (degrees longitude and latitude) and take the form <west>,<south>,<east>,<north>. Coordinates must not be separated by spaces (otherwise, they would be interpreted as separate arguments).
As an alternative, this option accepts a tile descriptor in the form z/x/y.
-n, --new
Use this option to create an empty .gol file if the specified library does not exist (rather than failing with an error message). Combine this option with --url to specify a tile repository from which the library will be populated.
-q, --quiet
Displays only minimal output. Apart from error messages, only minimal progress updates are written to stderr.
-u, --url=<URL>
Specifies the URL of the remote repository from which tiles are downloaded into the library.
-s, --silent
No output at all is written to stderr, not even error messages. (Whether a command succeeded or failed can only be ascertained via the status code returned by the process).
-v, --verbose
Writes extra information to stderr.
