Otherwise, the files are considered as tiles of a larger mosaic. o -b option selects a band to add into vrt. Multiple bands can be listed. By default all bands are queried. o The default tile index field is 'location' unless otherwise specified by -tileindex. o In case the resolution of all input files is not the same, the -resolution flag enable the user to control the way the output resolution is computed. Average is the default. o Input files may be any valid GDAL dataset or a GDAL raster tile index. o For a GDAL raster tile index, all entries will be added to the VRT. o If one GDAL dataset is made of several subdatasets and has 0 raster bands, its datasets will be added to the VRT rather than the dataset itself. Single subdataset could be selected by its number using the -sd option. o By default, only datasets of same projection and band characteristics may be added to the VRT.
