Options ======= GDAL's format drivers have many [configuration options](https://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/wiki/ConfigOptions) The way to set options for rasterio is via ``rasterio.drivers()``. Options set on entering are deleted on exit. .. code-block:: python import rasterio with rasterio.drivers(GDAL_TIFF_INTERNAL_MASK=True): # GeoTIFFs written here will have internal masks, not the # .msk sidecars. ... # Option is gone and the default (False) returns. Use native Python forms (``True`` and ``False``) for boolean options. Rasterio will convert them GDAL's internal forms.
