NAME
v.out.ascii SYNOPSIS
v.out.ascii
v.out.ascii help
v.out.ascii [-o] input=string [output=string]
Flags:
- -o
- create old (version 4) ascii file
Parameters:
- input=string
- Name of input vector
- output=string
- name of resulting ascii file
DESCRIPTION
v.out.ascii
converts a GRASS vector map in binary format to a GRASS vector map in ASCII
format. Using flag -o v.out.ascii output will be in old
(version 4) ascii format.
NOTES
The GRASS program v.in.ascii
performs the function of v.out.ascii in reverse; i.e., it
converts vector files in ASCII format to their binary format.
These two companion programs are useful both for importing and exporting
vector files between GRASS and other software, and for transferring data
between machines.
The output from v.out.ascii will be placed in the user's current
mapset under the $LOCATION/dig_ascii directory.
v.out.ascii does not copy the dig_cats
file associated with the binary vector input map
to the new output file name. The user must copy
the dig_cats file to the new output name
if this is desired (e.g., using the UNIX cp
command).
