Get a list of the available GDAL drivers
Details
The drivers available will depend on the installation of GDAL/OGR,
and can vary; the st_drivers() function shows all the drivers that are
readable, and which may be written. The field vsi refers to the driver's
capability to read/create datasets through the VSI*L API. See GDAL website for additional details on driver support
Examples
