* \author RIEGL LMS GmbH, Austria
* \brief RDB example 6: Database statistics
* \version 2015-10-14/AW: Initial version
* \version 2016-01-20/AW: Typos fixed
* \version 2017-01-31/AW: Check whether the file is a RDB 2 database file
* \version 2018-06-22/AW: Attribute length type changed to uint32 (#3117)
* \version 2018-07-10/AW: Use simplified versions of minimum() and maximum()
*
* This example shows how to open an existing database and output some
* information about the database like the list of point attributes,
* number of points and point cloud extents.
*
* Build instructions see "interface/cpp/riegl/README.TXT".
