- --verbose
- Verbose module output
- --quiet
- Quiet module output
Parameters:
- map=name[,name,...]
- Name of input vector map

- distance=float
- Query threshold distance
- Default: 0
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
