  - reclassify:      Reclassify values in a raster dataset
  - reproject:       Reproject a raster dataset.
  - resize:          Resize a raster dataset without changing the georeferenced extents.
  - rgb-to-palette:  Convert a RGB image into a pseudo-color / paletted image.
  - roughness:       Generate a roughness map
  - scale:           Scale the values of the bands of a raster dataset.

  - set-type:        Modify the data type of bands of a raster dataset.
  - sieve:           Remove small polygons from a raster dataset.
  - slope:           Generate a slope map
  - stack:           Combine together input bands into a multi-band output, either virtual (VRT) or materialized.
  - tile:            Generate tiles in separate files from a raster dataset.
  - tpi:             Generate a Topographic Position Index (TPI) map
  - tri:             Generate a Terrain Ruggedness Index (TRI) map
  - unscale:         Convert scaled values of a raster dataset into unscaled values.
  - update:          Update the destination raster with the content of the input one.
  - viewshed:        Compute the viewshed of a raster dataset.
  - zonal-stats:     Calculate raster zonal statistics

Common Options:
  -h, --help              Display help message and exit
  --json-usage            Display usage as JSON document and exit
  --config <KEY>=<VALUE>  Configuration option [may be repeated]

Options:
  --drivers               Display raster driver list as JSON document
