.SH DESCRIPTION
\fIv.pack\fR collects (packs) vector map elements and support files
in GRASS Database and creates an compressed file using \fIgzip\fR
algorithm. This file can be used to copy the vector map to another
machine. The packed file can be afterwards unpacked
by \fIv.unpack\fR.
.SH NOTES
Name of the pack file is determined by default from \fBinput\fR
parameter. Optionally the name can be given by \fBoutput\fR parameter.
.SH EXAMPLE
Pack up vector map \fIrandom_point\fR into \fIrandom_point.pack\fR file.
.br
.nf
\fC
v.pack input=random_point
\fR
.fi
the vector map can be afterwards unpacked by
.br
.nf
\fC
v.unpack input=random_point.pack
\fR
