Specify layer when using a geopackage in ogr2ogr

Question

I want to clip a vector-layer by another layer with ogr2ogr as explained here.

I always struggle to find out how to refer to a layer in ogr2ogr for input and output. Does anyone have a quick tip?

Please try to clarify "how to refer to a layer in ogr2ogr for input and output". For example, I am not sure if using -nln gdal.org/programs/ogr2ogr.html#cmdoption-ogr2ogr-nln is what you want to know about selecting the name of the output layer. — user30184, Commented Apr 11 at 9:28

Based on the ogr2ogr documentation, this should work:

ogr2ogr -clipsrc clip_polygons.gpkg -clipsrclayer clip_polygons_layer -nln output_layer output.gpkg input.gpkg input_layer
