count-me

Counting is not a particular passion of mine, but that’s something I have to do regularly as some sort of control. I figured out why not learn something in the process.

Codeberg repo

Objectives

  1. Count number of features in a Dataset.
  2. Save Counts into csv files if wanted (redirection).
  3. Compare counts between Datasets or Counts.

Usage

Print help:

countme -h

Count features in GDAL compatible vector data

Usage: countme [SRC]...

Arguments:
  [SRC]...  Path to data sources (see GDAL drivers documentation)

Options:
  -h, --help  Print help (see more with '--help')

Then there are two possibilities:

  1. Count features in a dataset
countme my_dataset

where my_dataset is the path to a GDAL supported data (see GDAL drivers documentation).

  1. Compare counts between Dataset or previous Counts saved as csv files.
countme my_dataset1 my_count.csv

or

countme my_count1.csv my_count2.csv
