   Parameters:
       map=name [required]
           Name of raster map

       title=phrase
           Title for resultant raster map

       history=phrase

           Text to use for map vertical datum

       source1=phrase
           Text to use for data source, line 1

DESCRIPTION

       r.support  allows  the  user  to create and/or edit raster map support information. Editing of raster map
       color tables, category labels, header, history, and title is  supported.  Category  labels  can  also  be
       copied from another raster map.

EXAMPLES

       These  examples  are  based on the North Carolina dataset, more specfically the landuse raster map.  Copy
       the landuse map to the current mapset
       g.copy raster=landuse,my_landuse

   Update statistics
       r.support -s map=my_landuse

   Update Title
       r.support map=my_landuse title="Landuse copied"

   Append to History Metadata
       r.support map=my_landuse history="Copied from PERMANENT mapset"

   Update Units Display
       r.support map=my_landuse units=meter

NOTES

       If metadata options such as title or history are given the module will run   non-interactively.  If  only
       the  map  name  is  given  r.support  will run interactively within a terminal shell and the user with be
       prompted for input.

       Freeform metadata information is stored in a "hist" file which may be appended to by  using  the  history
       option.  Currently  this  is limited to 50 lines of text with a maximum line length of 78 characters. Any
       input larger than this will be wrapped to the  next  line.   All  other  metadata  strings  available  as
       standard options are limited to 79 characters.
