[Freegis-list] cmdline shapefile info program

[Matt.Wilkie]

Hi All,

I'm looking for a stand alone commandline program which can return 
information from a shapefile such as Shape Type, Xmin/max extents, 
number of features, etc. in a format suitable for redirecting/scripting.

It would be better if the program would run on both Unix and Windows
but either is better than none. Does anybody know of such a beast?

thanks in advance,


-matt
