DESCRIPTION
       v.pack collects (packs) vector map elements and support files in  GRASS
       Database and creates an compressed file using gzip algorithm. This file
       can be used to copy the vector map to another machine. The packed  file
       can be afterwards unpacked by v.unpack.

NOTES
       Name  of  the  pack file is determined by default from input parameter.
       Optionally the name can be given by output parameter.

EXAMPLE
       Pack up vector map random_point into random_point.pack file.
       v.pack input=random_point
       the vector map can be afterwards unpacked by
       v.unpack input=random_point.pack
