For example a rare case where this would be useful is when using ogrinfo to query a file where the user does not have read permissions. If the user does not have read permissions on a dataset ogrinfo currently only returns: {{{ FAILURE: Unable to open datasource '/path/to/fn.shp' with the following drivers ... }}} If the problem is read permission a more explicit error would be useful. This is a potential use case for PostGIS users when running as the postgres user to load data into a postgres database. If they attempt to call ogrinfo on a file and their postgres user does not have read permissions a more explicit error would remind them of the problem. This is a very minor issue but would improve the ogr utility.",defect,closed,lowest,2.2.0,default,1.5.0,minor,fixed,"Error reporting, Permissions, Read access",
