Deprecated
This driver is considered for removal in GDAL 3.5. You are invited to convert any dataset in that format to another more common one. If you need this driver in future GDAL versions, create a ticket at https://github.com/OSGeo/gdal (look first for an existing one first) to explain how critical it is for you (but the GDAL project may still remove it). To enable use of the deprecated driver the GDAL_ENABLE_DEPRECATED_DRIVER_ARCGEN configuration option / environment variable must be set to YES.
This driver reads files in Arc/Info Generate format. Those files are simple ASCII files that contain points, lines or polygons (one type of geometry per file).
