lasinfo options:
  -h [ --help ]         produce help message
  -i [ --input ] arg    input LAS file
  -v [ --verbose ]      Verbose message output
  --no-vlrs             Don't show VLRs
  --no-schema           Don't show schema

Filtering options:
  -e [ --extent ] arg    Extent window that points must fall within to keep.
                         Use a comma-separated or quoted, space-separated list,
                         for example,
                          -e minx, miny, maxx, maxy
                          or

                         If maxx and maxy are set but not maxz *and minz, all z
