Split multiple vector feature files along the grids defined by multiple raster files, attributing all raster values:
snail process -fs features.csv -rs rasters.csv
Where at a minimum, each CSV has a column path with the path to each file.
Transform
A note on transform - these six numbers define the transform from i,j cell index (column/row) coordinates in the rectangular grid to x,y geographic coordinates, in the coordinate reference system of the input and output files. They effectively form the first two rows of a 3x3 matrix:
| x | | a b c | | i |
| y | = | d e f | | j |
| 1 | | 0 0 1 | | 1 |
In cases without shear or rotation, a and e define scaling or grid cell size, while c and f define the offset or grid upper-left corner:
This PR revises the main command-line interface to

Split features on a grid defined by a GeoTIFF, optionally adding the values from each raster band to each split feature as a new attribute:
