Return information about the GDAL library in use.
vapour_gdal_version()
vapour_all_drivers()
vapour_driver(dsource)data source string (i.e. file name or URL or database connection string)
please see Details, character vectors or lists of character vectors
vapour_gdal_version returns the version of GDAL as a string. This corresponds to the "--version"
as described for "GDALVersionInfo". GDAL documentation.
vapour_all_drivers returns the names and capabilities of all available drivers, in a list. This contains:
driver the driver (short) name
name the (long) description name
vector logical vector indicating a vector driver
raster logical vector indicating a raster driver
create driver can create (note vapour provides no write capacity)
copy driver can copy (note vapour provides no write capacity)
virtual driver has virtual capabilities ('vsi')
vapour_driver() returns the short name of the driver, e.g. 'GPKG' or 'GTiff', to get the
long name and other properties use vapour_all_drivers() and match on 'driver'.
