date=datestring
    Date of vector map digitization (e.g., "15 Mar 2007")

person=phrase

map_name=phrase
    Vector map title

map_date=datestring
    Date when the source map was originally produced

scale=integer
    Vector map scale number (e.g., 24000)

zone=integer
    Vector map projection zone

threshold=float
    Vector map digitizing threshold number (e.g., 0.5)

    Text to append to the comment line of the map’s metadata file

cmdhist=command

DESCRIPTION
v.support is used to set/update vector map metadata. While GRASS typically generates these metadata entries automatically, v.support allows users to manually edit them when necessary.

EXAMPLE

# update scale to 1:24000
v.support myvectmap scale=24000
# update organization
v.support myvectmap organization="OSGeo labs"
v.info myvectmap
