31   Parameters:
32       map=name [required]
33           Name of vector map
34           Or data source for direct OGR access
35
36       layer=string
37           Layer number or name
38           Vector features can have category values in different layers.  This
39           number  determines  which  layer  to use. When used with direct OGR
40           access this is the layer name.
41           Default: 1
42
43       date=timestamp
44           Datetime, datetime1/datetime2, or ’none’ to remove
45           Format: ’15 jan 1994’ (absolute) or ’2 years’ (relative)
46

DESCRIPTION

48       This command has 2 modes of operation. If no date argument is supplied,
49       then  the  current  timestamp  for the vector map is printed. If a date
50       argument is specified, then the timestamp for the vector map is set  to
51       the specified date(s). See examples below.
52
53       See TIMESTAMP FORMAT description for details.
54

NOTES

56       Strings  containing  spaces should be quoted. For specifying a range of
57       time, the two timestamps should be separated by  a  forward  slash.  To
58       remove the timestamp from a vector map, use date=none.
59

EXAMPLES

61       Prints  the  timestamp for the "lidar" vector map. If there is no time‐
62       stamp for "lidar", nothing is printed. If there is a timestamp, one  or
63       two time strings are printed, depending on if the timestamp for the map
64       consists of a single date or two dates (ie start and end dates).
65       v.timestamp map=lidar
66       Sets the timestamp for "lidar" to the single date "15 sep 1987".
67       v.timestamp map=lidar date=’15 sep 1987’
68       Sets the timestamp for "lidar" to have the start date "15 sep 1987" and
69       the end date "20 feb 1988".
70       v.timestamp map=lidar date=’15 sep 1987/20 feb 1988’
71       Removes the timestamp for the "lidar" vector map.
72       v.timestamp map=lidar date=none
73

KNOWN ISSUES

75       Spaces in the timestamp value are required.
