+    """Wrappers for 'GDAL' Utilities Executables.
+
+    R's 'sf' package ships with self-contained 'GDAL' executables, including a
+    bare bones interface to several 'GDAL'-related utility programs
+    collectively known as the 'GDAL utilities'. For each of those utilities,
+    this package provides an R wrapper whose formal arguments closely mirror
+    those of the 'GDAL' command line interface. The utilities operate on data
+    stored in files and typically write their output to other files. Therefore,
+    to process data stored in any of R's more common spatial formats (i.e.
+    those supported by the 'sp', 'sf', and 'raster' packages), first write them
+    to disk, then process them with the package's wrapper functions before
+    reading the outputted results back into R. GDAL function arguments
+    introduced in GDAL version 3.2.1 or earlier are supported."""
