        This call is intended to force the datasource to flush any pending
        writes to disk, and leave the disk file in a consistent state. It
        would not normally have any effect on read-only datasources.

        Some data sources do not implement this method, and will still return

        attempting to flush to disk.

        The default implementation of this method just calls the SyncToDisk()
        method on each of the layers. Conceptionally, calling SyncToDisk() on
        a datasource should include any work that might be accomplished by
        calling SyncToDisk() on layers in that data source.

        This method allows positioning of a layer such that the

        This call is intended to force the layer to flush any pending writes

        If the driver supports this functionality (testable using
        OLCIgnoreFields capability), it will not fetch the specified fields in
        subsequent calls to GetFeature() / GetNextFeature() and thus save some
        processing time and/or bandwidth.

        Besides field names of the layers, the following special fields can be
        passed: "OGR_GEOMETRY" to ignore geometry and "OGR_STYLE" to
        ignore layer style.

        By default, no fields are ignored.

        OGR_G_TransformTo(OGRGeometryH hGeom, OGRSpatialReferenceH hSRS)

        Transform geometry to new spatial reference system.

        This function will transform the coordinates of a geometry from their
        current spatial reference system to a new target spatial reference
        system. Normally this means reprojecting the vectors, but it could
        include datum shifts, and changes of units.

        This function will only work if the geometry already has an assigned
        spatial reference system, and if it is transformable to the target
        coordinate system.

        Because this function requires internal creation and initialization of
        an OGRCoordinateTransformation object it is significantly more
        expensive to use this function to transform many geometries than it is
        to create the OGRCoordinateTransformation in advance, and call
        transform() with that transformation. This function exists primarily
        for convenience when only transforming a single geometry.

        This function is the same as the CPP method OGRGeometry::transformTo.

        Parameters:
        -----------

        hGeom:  handle on the geometry to apply the transform to.

        This function will transform the coordinates of a geometry from their

        Note that this function does not require that the geometry already
