-a
Print attribute information
-g
Print the stats in shell script style
--verbose
Verbose module output
--quiet
Quiet module output

Parameters:

map=name[,name,...]
Name of input vector map

Coordinates for query
If not given reads from standard input
distance=float

DESCRIPTION

v.what Outputs the category number value(s) associated with user-specified location(s) in user-specified vector map layer(s). This module was derived from the d.what.vect module by removing all interactive code and modification of the output for easy parsing. Using the -g flag generates script-style output which is easily parsable.

This module always reports standard acres, even when the location uses US Survey feet as the map unit.

EXAMPLE

Spearfish example:
v.what fields east_north=599121.75,4922981.125
