GRASS GIS manual: g.mapset

Note: A new GRASS GIS stable version has been released: GRASS GIS 7. Go directly to the new manual page here

NAME

g.mapset - Changes current mapset.
Optionally create new mapset or list available mapsets in given location.

KEYWORDS

general, settings

SYNOPSIS

g.mapset
g.mapset help
g.mapset [-cl] [mapset=string] [location=string] [gisdbase=path] [--verbose] [--quiet]

Flags:

-c: Create mapset if it doesn't exist
-l: List available mapsets
--verbose: Verbose module output
--quiet: Quiet module output

Parameters:

mapset=string: Name of mapset where to switch
location=string: Location name (not location path)
gisdbase=path: GIS data directory (full path to the directory where the new location is)

DESCRIPTION

g.mapset changes the current working MAPSET, LOCATION, or GISDBASE. This is a fairly radical maneuver to run mid-session, take care when running the GUI at the same time.

NOTES

The shell continues to use the history for the old mapset. To change this you can switch the history to the new settings by commands:

   history -w
   history -r /"$GISDBASE/$LOCATION/$MAPSET"/.bash_history
   HISTFILE=/"$GISDBASE/$LOCATION/$MAPSET"/.bash_history
