DESCRIPTION

       g.search.module searches for  given  keyword  in  GRASS  GIS  modules  name,  description,
       keywords and optionally manpages, too. Also installed addons are considered in the search.

NOTES

       Multiple keywords may be specified, g.search.modules will search for all of them.

EXAMPLE

       Search all modules, where keywords buffer OR clip can be found:
       g.search.modules keyword=buffer,clip
       r.circle
           keywords: raster,buffer,geometry,circle
           description: Creates a raster map containing concentric rings around a
                        given point.
       r.buffer.lowmem
           keywords: raster,buffer
           description: Creates a raster map showing buffer zones surrounding cells
                        that contain non-NULL category values. This is the low-
                        memory alternative to the classic r.buffer module.
       r.buffer
           keywords: raster,buffer
           description: Creates a raster map showing buffer zones surrounding cells
                        that contain non-NULL category values.

       Search  all modules, where keywords overlay AND clip can be found with some fancy terminal
       output (not shown here):
       g.search.modules keyword=clip,overlay -a -c
       v.clip
           keywords: vector,clip,area
           description: Extracts features of input map which overlay features
                        of clip map.
       v.overlay
           keywords: vector,geometry,spatial
                     query,clip,difference,intersection,union
           description: Overlays two vector maps offering clip, intersection,
                        difference, symmetrical difference, union operators.

       Search in manual pages as well:
       g.search.modules -m keyword=kapri
       db.execute
           keywords: database,attribute table,SQL
           description: Executes any SQL statement. For SELECT statements use
                        ’db.select’.
       db.select
           keywords: database,attribute table,SQL
           description: Selects data from attribute table. Performs SQL query
                        statement(s).
