DESCRIPTION

44       v.what Outputs the category number value(s) associated with user-speci‐
45       fied location(s) in user-specified vector map  layer(s).   This  module
46       was  derived  from  the  d.what.vect module by removing all interactive
47       code and modification of the output for easy parsing.
48

EXAMPLE

51       v.what fields east_north=599121.75,4922981.125
