DESCRIPTION

39       This  program  allows user to start a selected graphical user interface
40       (GUI) from the command line prompt.
41
42       Currently three different GUIs are supported:
43
44                     tcltk - Current Tcl/Tk based GUI aka the gis.m  GIS  Man‐
45                     ager
46
47                     oldtcltk  - Old Tcl/Tk based GUI aka the d.m Display Man‐
48                     ager
49
50                     wxpython - New wxPython based GUI aka wxGUI
51       If the -u update flag is given or the g.gisenv  GRASS_GUI  variable  is
52       missing,  then  the  GRASS_GUI  variable is permanently changed and the
53       selected GUI will be used as the default UI from then on.
54

NOTES

56       Valid values for GRASS_GUI are text,  tcltk,  oldtcltk,  and  wxpython.
57       g.gisenv  variables are stored in the user's home directory in a hidden
58       file called ".grassrc6". They are not shell environment  variables  and
59       the  "rc" file is not a classic UNIX run command file, it just contains
60       persistent GRASS variables and is not executed.
