DESCRIPTION

59       A user may access data stored under the other  mapsets  listed  in  his
60       mapset  search  path.   However,  the  user may only modify data stored
61       under his own current mapset.  g.copy allows the user to copy  existing
62       data  files  from other mapsets to the user's current mapset ($MAPSET).
63       The files to be copied must exist in the user's current  mapset  search
64       path  and  location; output is sent to the relevant data element direc‐
65       tory(ies) under the user's current mapset.
66

EXAMPLES

68       If the user wished to copy the existing raster file  soils  to  a  file
69       called  soils.ph  and  to  copy  an existing vector map roads to a file
70       called rds.old, the user could type:
71
72
73       g.copy rast=soils,soils.ph vect=roads,rds.old
74
75
76       Data files can also be specified by their mapsets.   For  example,  the
77       below  command copies the raster map named soils from the mapset wilson
78       to a new file called soils  to  be  placed  under  the  user's  current
79       mapset:
80
81
82       g.copy rast='soils@wilson',soils
83
84
85       If  no mapset name is specified, g.copy searches for the named from map
86       in each of the mapset directories listed in the user's  current  mapset
87       search  path  in  the  order  in  which  mapsets  are listed there (see
88       g.mapsets).
89

NOTES

91       If the user does not enter parameter  values  but  instead  types  only
92       g.copy  on the command line the program will prompt the user for a data
93       type, the name of a file of this data type to copy, and the name  of  a
94       new  file  to  hold the copy.  After both file names have been entered,
95       the copy is created and the user is again prompted for a  data  element
96       to  be  copied,  until  the  user  hits RETURN.  When prompted for file
97       names, the user may enter 'list' to see a list of  existing  files,  or
98       hit RETURN to end the file listing.
99
100       If a file has support files (e.g., as do raster data files), these sup‐
101       port files will also be copied.
