 ================================================================================
 Common options for vector programs
 ================================================================================
+
+All GDAL OGR command line programs support the following common options.
+
+.. option:: --version
+
+    Report the version of GDAL and exit.
+
+.. option:: --formats
+
+    List all vector formats supported by this GDAL build (read-only and
+    read-write) and exit. The format support is indicated as follows:
+    ``ro`` is read-only driver; ``rw`` is read or write (i.e. supports
+    :c:func:`CreateCopy`); ``rw+`` is read, write and update (i.e. supports
+    Create). A ``v`` is appended for formats supporting virtual IO
+    (``/vsimem``, ``/vsigzip``, ``/vsizip``, etc). A ``s`` is appended for
+    formats supporting subdatasets.
+
+.. option:: --format <format>
+
+    List detailed information about a single format driver.
+    The format should be the short name reported in the :option:`--formats`
+    list, such as GML.
+
+.. option:: --optfile <filename>
+
+    Read the named file and substitute the contents into the command line
+    options list. Lines beginning with ``#`` will be ignored.
+    Multi-word arguments may be kept together with double quotes.
+
+.. option:: --config <key> <value>
+
+    Sets the named configuration keyword to the given value, as opposed to
+    setting them as environment variables. Some common configuration keywords
+    are SHAPE_ENCODING (force shapefile driver to read DBF files with the given
+    character encoding) and CPL_TEMPDIR (define the location of temporary files).
+    Individual drivers may be influenced by other configuration options.
+
+.. option:: --debug <value>
+
+    Control what debugging messages are emitted.
+    A value of ON will enable all debug messages.
+    A value of OFF will disable all debug messages.
+    Another value will select only debug messages containing
+    that string in the debug prefix code.
+
+.. option:: --help-general
+
+    Gives a brief usage message for the generic GDAL OGR command line options and exit.
