.SH DESCRIPTION
\fIr.pack\fR collects raster map elements and support files and
compressed them using \fIgzip\fR algorithm for copying. The resulting
packed file can be afterwards unpacked within a GRASS GIS session
by \fIr.unpack\fR.
Since the selected raster map is not exported but natively stored, the
current region is not respected. Hence \fIr.pack\fR stores the entire
raster map.
.SH NOTES
By default, the name of the pack file is determined from the \fBinput\fR
parameter. Optionally a different name can be given by \fBoutput\fR parameter.
Currently only 2D raster maps are supported.
.SH EXAMPLE
Pack up the entire raster map \fIaspect\fR into \fIaspect.pack\fR file:
.br
.nf
\fC
r.pack input=aspect
\fR
.fi
The packed raster map file  \fIaspect.pack\fR can afterwards be unpacked by
.br
.nf
\fC
r.unpack input=aspect.pack
\fR
.fi
