So, the original description is correct (i.e. that for shapefiles dsn is
a directory), but in practice it doesn't matter since ogr takes care of
that.
If you point OGR at a directory, it takes it for a "data
source", and the OGR supported vector files inside for
available "OGR layers" (at least in case of ESRI Shapefiles
and MapInfo files).
If you point it directly at an *.shp file, the whole "data
source" is that single shapefile, and the only "layer"
available at the same time.
Try "ogrinfo -al -so /path/to/dir/with/shapefiles" or
"v.in.ogr -l dsn=/path/to/dir/with/shapefiles".
Yes, I get it. Thanks for the explanation.
