Topic: map management

Tool Description
g.access Controls access to the current mapset for other users on the system. If no option given, prints current status.
g.copy Creates copies of maps and other elements Copies available data files in the current mapset search path to the user's current mapset.
g.dirseps Internal GRASS utility for converting directory separator characters. Converts any directory separator characters in the input string to or from native host format, and writes the changed path to standard output. Useful in scripts for Windows compatibility.
g.filename Prints GRASS data base file names.
g.findetc Searches for GRASS support files.
g.findfile Searches for GRASS data base files and sets variables for the shell.
g.list Lists available GRASS data base files of the user-specified data type optionally using the search pattern.
g.remove Removes data base element files from the user's current mapset using the search pattern.
g.rename Renames data base element files in the user's current mapset.
i.group Creates, edits, and lists groups of imagery data.
i.target Targets an imagery group to a GRASS location and mapset.
r.compress Compresses and decompresses raster maps.
r.null Manages NULL-values of given raster map.
r3.null Explicitly create the 3D NULL-value bitmap file.
t.create Creates a space time dataset.
t.list Lists space time datasets and maps registered in the temporal database.
t.rast.list Lists registered maps of a space time raster dataset.
t.rast3d.list Lists registered maps of a space time raster3d dataset.
t.register Assigns timestamps and registers raster, vector and raster3d maps in a space time dataset.
t.remove Removes space time datasets from temporal database.
t.rename Renames a space time dataset
t.unregister Unregisters raster, vector and raster3d maps from the temporal database or a specific space time dataset.
t.vect.list Lists registered maps of a space time vector dataset.
