DESCRIPTION¶
A user may access data stored under the other mapsets listed in his mapset
search path. However, the user may only modify data stored under his own
current mapset.
g.copy allows the user to copy existing data files
from other mapsets
to the user's current mapset ($MAPSET). The
files to be copied must exist in the user's current mapset search path and
location; output is sent to the relevant data element directory(ies) under the
user's current mapset.
EXAMPLES¶
If the user wished to copy the existing raster file
soils to a file
called
soils.ph and to copy an existing vector map
roads to a
file called
rds.old, the user could type:
g.copy rast=soils,soils.ph vect=roads,rds.old
Data files can also be specified by their mapsets. For example, the below
command copies the raster map named
soils from the mapset
wilson
to a new file called
soils to be placed under the user's current
mapset:
g.copy rast='soils@wilson',soils
If no mapset name is specified,
g.copy searches for the named
from
map in each of the mapset directories listed in the user's current mapset
search path in the order in which mapsets are listed there (see
g.mapsets).
NOTES¶
If the user does not enter parameter values but instead types only
g.copy
on the command line the program will prompt the user for a data type, the name
of a file of this data type to copy, and the name of a new file to hold the
copy. After both file names have been entered, the copy is created and the
user is again prompted for a data element to be copied, until the user hits
RETURN. When prompted for file names, the user may enter 'list' to see a list
of existing files, or hit RETURN to end the file listing.
If a file has support files (e.g., as do raster data files), these support files
will also be copied.
