NAME
v.timestamp - Modifies a timestamp for a vector map.
Print/add/remove a timestamp for a vector map.
KEYWORDS
vector, metadata, timestamp, time
SYNOPSIS
v.timestamp
v.timestamp --help
v.timestamp map=name [layer=string] [date=timestamp] [--help]
[--verbose] [--quiet] [--ui]
Flags:
--help
Print usage summary
--verbose
Verbose module output
--quiet
Quiet module output
--ui
Force launching GUI dialog
Parameters:
map=name [required]
Name of vector map
Or data source for direct OGR access
layer=string
Layer number or name
Vector features can have category values in different layers. This
number determines which layer to use. When used with direct OGR ac-
cess this is the layer name.
Default: 1
date=timestamp
Datetime, datetime1/datetime2, or ’none’ to remove
Format: ’15 jan 1994’ (absolute) or ’2 years’ (relative)
DESCRIPTION
This command has 2 modes of operation. If no date argument is supplied,
then the current timestamp for the vector map is printed. If a date ar-
gument is specified, then the timestamp for the vector map is set to
the specified date(s). See examples below.
See TIMESTAMP FORMAT description for details.
NOTES
Strings containing spaces should be quoted. For specifying a range of
time, the two timestamps should be separated by a forward slash. To re-
move the timestamp from a vector map, use date=none.
EXAMPLES
Prints the timestamp for the "lidar" vector map. If there is no time-
stamp for "lidar", nothing is printed. If there is a timestamp, one or
two time strings are printed, depending on if the timestamp for the map
consists of a single date or two dates (ie start and end dates).
v.timestamp map=lidar
Sets the timestamp for "lidar" to the single date "15 sep 1987".
v.timestamp map=lidar date=’15 sep 1987’
Sets the timestamp for "lidar" to have the start date "15 sep 1987" and
the end date "20 feb 1988".
v.timestamp map=lidar date=’15 sep 1987/20 feb 1988’
Removes the timestamp for the "lidar" vector map.
v.timestamp map=lidar date=none
KNOWN ISSUES
Spaces in the timestamp value are required.
