DESCRIPTION
A user may access data stored under the other mapsets listed in their
mapset search path. However, the user may only modify data stored under
their own current mapset. g.copy allows the user to copy existing data
files from other mapsets to the user’s current mapset ($MAPSET). The
files to be copied must exist in the user’s current mapset search path
and location; output is sent to the relevant data element direc-
tory(ies) under the user’s current mapset.
EXAMPLES
If the user wished to copy the existing raster file soils to a file
called soils.ph and to copy an existing vector map roads to a file
called rds.old, the user could type:
g.copy raster=soils,soils.ph
g.copy vector=roads,rds.old
# or even combined:
g.copy raster=soils,soils.ph vector=roads,rds.old
Data files can also be specified by their mapsets. For example, the
below command copies the raster map named soils from the mapset wilson
to a new file called soils to be placed under the user’s current
mapset:
g.copy raster=soils@wilson,soils
If no mapset name is specified, g.copy searches for the named from map
in each of the mapset directories listed in the user’s current mapset
search path in the order in which mapsets are listed there (see
g.mapsets).
