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
       directory(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).
