NAME

v.what

DESCRIPTION

v.what outputs the category number value(s) associated with user-specified location(s) in user-specified vector map layer(s). This module was derived from the d.what.vect module by removing all interactive code and modification of the output for easy parsing. Using the -g flag generates script-style output which is easily parsable.

EXAMPLE

North Carolina sample dataset example:

Query polygon at given position:

v.what zipcodes_wake east_north=637502.25,221744.25

Find closest hospital to given position within given distance (search radius):

v.what hospitals east_north=542690.4,204802.7 distance=2000000
