46 Parameters:
47 map=name[,name,...]Â [required]
48 Name of vector map(s)
49
50 layer=string[,string,...]
51 Layer number or name (’-1’ for all layers)
52 A single vector map can be connected to multiple database tables.
53 This number determines which table to use. When used with direct
54 OGR access this is the layer name.
55 Default: -1
56
57 type=string[,string,...]
58 Input feature type
59 Options: point, line, boundary, centroid, area, face, kernel
60 Default: point,line,area,face
61
62 coordinates=east,north [required]
63 Coordinates for query
64 ’-’ for standard input
65
66 distance=float
67 Query threshold distance
68 Default: 0
69
70 columns=name[,name,...]
71 Name of attribute column(s)
72 Default: all columns
73
75 v.what outputs the category number value(s) associated with user-speci‐
76 fied location(s) in user-specified vector map layer(s). This module
77 was derived from the d.what.vect module by removing all interactive
78 code and modification of the output for easy parsing. Using the -g flag
79 generates script-style output which is easily parsable.

84 Query polygon at given position:
85 v.what zipcodes_wake coordinates=637502.25,221744.25
86
87 Find closest hospital to given position within given distance (search
88 radius):
89 v.what hospitals coordinates=542690.4,204802.7 distance=2000000
