retitle 421651 ogrinfo does not explain well the -ro option
forwarded 421651 http://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/ticket/2267
thanks

Recent versions fixed the manpage but still the -ro option use
is not evident. The reason is that ogrinfo opens data source 
in update/append mode, because the -sql command can be used
for updating. So, the -ro flag forces the opening in read-only
mode indeed. Upstream has a report opened since years as well.

Cheers.
