49 r.info reports some basic information about a user-specified raster map
50 layer. This map layer must exist in the user’s current mapset search
51 path. Information about the map’s boundaries, resolution, projection,
52 data type, category number, data base location and mapset, the time‐
53 stamp and history are put into a table and written to standard output.
54 The types of information listed can also be found in the cats, cellhd,
55 and hist directories under the mapset in which the named map is stored.
56
57 The user can save the tabular output to a file by using the UNIX redi‐
58 rection mechanism (>); for example, the user might save a report on the
59 soils map layer in a file called soil.txt by typing:
60 r.info map=soils > soil.txt
61
63 On large maps, the total number of cells in the map may not be dis‐
64 played with an accurate number. This is only cosmetic.
65
66 Some standards (ISO-C90) and compilers do not support the ’long long’
67 type as a 64-bit type. In the case that GRASS GIS was built with such a
68 compiler, an accuracy message may be displayed in the output of r.info
69 after Total Cells.

72 Below is a full report produced by r.info for the raster map slope in
73 the North Carolina sample data base:

107 Alternatively, the output from r.info may be confined to a more terse
108 subset of the available information by passing various flags to the
109 module:
110
111 Output in shell script style, useful for eval (eval `r.info -g slope`):
112 r.info -g slope
