Get readers.las metadata without executing pipeline #135

Closed wonder-sk closed 1 year ago

wonder-sk commented 1 year ago

It would be useful to get access to LAS/LAZ metadata through python bindings - like what pdal info --metadata reports (without actually reading points).

Currently stage's metadata are only available after its pipeline gets executed.

quickinfo only reports a subset of information (e.g. extent), but does not include things like dataformat ID or XYZ offset/scale.

PDAL 2.5.0+ will have support for putting reader metadata into .quickinfo.
