DESCRIPTION
       r.info reports some basic information about a user-specified raster map
       layer.  This map layer must exist in the user’s current  mapset  search
       path.   Information about the map’s boundaries, resolution, projection,
       data type, category number, data base location and  mapset,  the  time-
       stamp  and history are put into a table and written to standard output.
       The types of information listed can also be found in the cats,  cellhd,
       and hist directories under the mapset in which the named map is stored.

       The  user can save the tabular output to a file by using the UNIX redi-
       rection mechanism (>); for example, the user might save a report on the
       soils map layer in a file called soil.txt by typing:
       r.info map=soils > soil.txt

NOTES
       On  large  maps,  the  total number of cells in the map may not be dis-
       played with an accurate number. This is only cosmetic.

       Some standards (ISO-C90) and compilers do not support the  ’long  long’
       type as a 64-bit type. In the case that GRASS GIS was built with such a
       compiler, an accuracy message may be displayed in the output of  r.info
       after Total Cells.

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

       Alternatively, the output from r.info may be confined to a  more  terse
       subset  of  the  available  information by passing various flags to the
       module:

       Output in shell script style, useful for eval (eval `r.info -g slope`):
       r.info -g slope
       north=228500
       south=215000
       east=645000
       west=630000
       nsres=10
       ewres=10
       rows=1350
       cols=1500
       cells=2025000
       datatype=FCELL
       ncats=255

       Output the map data range:
       r.info -r slope
       min=0
       max=38.68939

       Output the extended map data metadata in shell style:
       r.info -e slope
       map=slope
       mapset=PERMANENT
       location=nc_spm_08_grass7
