Parameters:¶
- type=datatype[,datatype,...] [required]
-
Data type(s)
Options: raster, raster_3d, vector, label, region, group, all
raster: raster map(s)
raster_3d: 3D raster map(s)
vector: vector map(s)
label: paint label file(s)
region: region definition(s)
group: imagery group(s)
all: all types - pattern=string
-
Map name search pattern (default: all) - exclude=string
-
Map name exclusion pattern (default: none) - mapset=name[,name,...]
-
Name of mapset to list (default: current search path)
’.’ for current mapset; ’*’ for all mapsets in location - separator=character
-
Field separator
Special characters: pipe, comma, space, tab, newline
Default: newline - region=name
-
Name of saved region for map search (default: not restricted)
’.’ for current region; ’*’ for default region - output=name
-
Name for output file
If not given or ’-’ then standard output
DESCRIPTION¶
g.list searches for data files matching a pattern given by wildcards or POSIX Extended Regular Expressions.
NOTES¶
The output of g.list may be useful for other programs’ parameter input (e.g. time series for r.series) when used with separator=comma.
EXAMPLES¶
List all raster maps as continuous, sorted list:
g.list type=rast
List all vector maps as continuous, sorted list with MAPSET info
(i.e. fully-qualified map names):
g.list type=vector -m
List all raster and vector maps ordered by mapset:
g.list type=raster -p
List all raster and vector maps as continuous, sorted list:
g.list type=rast,vect
List all available GRASS data base files:
g.list type=all
Mapset search path¶
If mapset is not specified, then g.list searches for
data files in the mapsets that are included in the search path (defined by
g.mapsets). See g.mapsets -p.
g.list rast -p raster map(s) available in mapset <user1>: dmt ... raster map(s) available in mapset <PERMANENT>: aspect ...
Option mapset=. (one dot) lists only data files from the
current mapset:
g.list rast mapset=. ...
Similarly, mapset=* (one asterisk) prints data files from
all available mapsets also including those that are not listed in the
current search path (see g.mapsets -l).
g.list rast mapset=* -p raster map(s) available in mapset <landsat>: lsat5_1987_10 ... raster map(s) available in mapset <user1>: dmt ... raster map(s) available in mapset <PERMANENT>: aspect ...
Wildcards¶
List all vector maps starting with letter "r":
g.list type=vector pattern="r*"
List all vector maps starting with letter "r" or
"a":
g.list type=vector pattern="[ra]*"
List all raster maps starting with "soil_" or
"landuse_":
g.list type=raster pattern="{soil,landuse}_*"
List certain raster maps with one variable character/number:
g.list type=raster pattern="N45E00?.meters"
Use of exclude parameter:
# without exclude:
g.list rast pat="r*" mapset=PERMANENT
railroads
roads
rstrct.areas
rushmore # exclude only complete word(s):
g.list rast pat="r*" exclude=roads mapset=PERMANENT
railroads
rstrct.areas
rushmore # exclude with wildcard:
g.list rast pat="r*" exclude="*roads*" mapset=PERMANENT
rstrct.areas
rushmore
Regular expressions¶
List all soil maps starting with "soils" in their name:
g.list -r type=raster pattern=’^soils’
List "tmp" if "tmp" raster map exists:
g.list -r type=raster pattern=’^tmp$’
List "tmp0" ..."tmp9" if corresponding vector
map exists (each map name linewise):
g.list -r type=vector pattern=’^tmp[0-9]$’
List "tmp0"..."tmp9" if corresponding vector
map exists (each map name comma separated):
g.list -r type=vector separator=comma pattern=’^tmp[0-9]$’
Extended regular expressions¶
List all precipitation maps for the years 1997-2012, comma
separated:
g.list -e type=raster separator=comma pattern="precip_total.(199[7-9]|200[0-9]|201[0-2]).sum"
Maps whose region overlaps with a saved region¶
List all raster maps starting with "tmp_" whose region
overlaps with the region of "test" raster map:
g.region raster=test save=test_region g.list type=raster pattern=’tmp_*’ region=test_region
List "tmp0"..."tmp9" vector maps whose region
overlaps with the current region:
g.list -r type=vector pattern=’^tmp[0-9]$’ region=.
List all raster and vector maps whose region overlaps with the
default region of the PERMANENT mapset in the current project
(DEFAULT_WIND):
g.list type=rast,vect region=*
Note that, without region=*, g.list type=rast,vect simply lists all available raster and vector maps from the current search path regardless of their region.
